I used to think I was a gamer. I beat Marathon, the Bungy precursor to Halo, in record time. Then one day I let my son try a cool Apple pc game I found. I forget the name of it, but the object was to travel around the galaxy starting with a little shuttle ship and then making coin and trading and fighting bandits and such and buying bigger and bigger ships. I spent weeks getting a few million credits and a cool almost top-of-the-line ship with a hold full of stolen cargo and all the best weapons.
My son beat the entire game in a matter of three or four hours. He had like 800 million credits, the best and most expensive ship and an entire fleet of pirate vassals which I didn't even know you could do. He said to me "Cool game, dad, you got any other ones?"
He was 10 years old.
I haven't gamed much since then.
