In the early 1980's, I was "aware" of Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum computers and, indeed, many of my friends had them. I, on the other hand, was more interested I playing Rugby and spending my Saturdays photographing weddings to supplement my meagre income. I never got interested in computer gaming and have only ever owned one computer game - and that's because it came "bundled" with the PC I bought. As an aside, I sometimes wonder if anyone's done a study of the evolution in size / strength / dexterity of thumbs over the past 30+ years....
Anyway, I have never owned a gaming console of any description and I rage against Hollyweird studios using what funding they have, these days, in producing CGI-based "films" off the back of computer games instead of something with a story / plot and proper, human, actors. Our local multi-screen cinema is currently showing something called "Assassin's Creed", for which I had to sit through the most mind-numbing trailer the last time we went. It's all very clever mixing actors and CGI from a programming / effects perspective, but although I'm of the generation that popularised it, I must be a bit weird as I deliberately never engaged with the cyber world. Maybe I just realised that if I did engage, I'd probably be sucked in like that bloke off "The Matrix".
The nearest to a computer game I get is using my somewhat erratic Garmin sat-nav which, a couple of weekends ago, decided to try to get me and my missus to go off-roading in her 3-series. The set up menu on my wife's Fuji X-T1 is also sufficiently challenging.
So, back to the topic, I'm probably going to give a cyber photo-safari a miss. Thanks for the link, though, Francois.
