And they are always adding more.
It feels exactly like a real machine with all the accurate, tinny sounds and 1970s digital counter displays.
They have my old favorites so it's fun to be able to play them like I did when I was young.
I play it on my iPad mainly.

The ball has weight and the tilt of the table affects it correctly. Also all the bumpers, tracks and gizmos are completely 3D so the view can zoom in and change direction. You can set it to several different default views.

I started off playing candy crush on my phone and like you, I got frustrated after a certain point and never played it again. I moved on to jewel blitz and played that alot until I sort of got sick of it. And of course, words free is fun.

I don't play too many games now. But I like fruit ninja.

I'd sell a lot of stuff for a true Clover Studio sequel. I'm going to draw an Okami-meets-Zelda-based picture for my daughter who wants it for a tattoo.

But as for right now, I'm enjoying the newest Zelda for Wii-U. (We don't have the Switch. Yet.)
On my phone I play Evony, Clash of Clans, Candy Crush and a Futurama game that is very similar to Candy Crush in game-play but with a lot of biting of shiny metal asses.

The only time i get to do them is when i am traveling for work and have to stay in hotels, though.

After watching the WHCD, I am not sure I can pick up another USA today and not chuckle a little. That was funny.

Even back on the old original nintendo it was a revelation. I have skipped the last two though because I don't want to invest in a system for one game.

I have a PS4 now and the favorite game I have played so far has been Dragon Age Inquisition.

Peace

those great old machines. Asteroids and pinball, preferably the kind with twirly flag thingies you hit the ball through and rack up those points.

Along with Pokemon Go - Don't laugh, I walk the dog and PG keeps me on the stroll longer. Shoga and I have both lost weight. :p

I've been a fan of Civilization since the start, although I haven't picked up the latest generation yet.

Does anyone remember Resident Evil 4? That was the best Game Cube game ever, such a great game. I dust off the purple lunch box now and then and play it even now

NEVER played the game until about two weeks ago. I played D&D as a kid, so a "spear and magic helmet" computer game held absolutely NO interest for me, now that I'm an adult. This game is also now six years old.

So I bought it off of Steam for 20 bucks. I figured I'd give it a shot, just to see what the fuss was all about.

And now it's just about all I ever do, during whatever free time I have. What a beautiful, amazing game.

Xbox 360: Borderlands 2. Almost got a 2nd character to level 72.
PC: Rainbow Six Siege. I've always been a big fan of Tom Clancy games, but Siege is definitely my favorite.
