Gamers: Apparently There Is More to Love

If, like me, you were born in the early eighties, you are part of the first generation to grow up with an in home video game system. As such, some of my fondest memories growing up are the 8 bit characterizations of simulated adventure. For me it was Super Mario Brothers that started my life long obsession, for others it was Link in the Zelda Series, for our more seasoned veterans of the console wars it may be Pitfall, Pac Man, or Centipede. My hobby started out innocently enough, a few hours a day trying to find the right castle to save the princess. For many of us that first game, that first console in our homes opened up many new worlds for us to delight in, but, as with everything, there was a downside to calling yourself a gamer.
