It’s amazing the things which inspire you! This post and the notions within it came to me as the result of afternoon tea one evening, the victuals in question were tasty, wholesome and overall pretty good. They were also really simple.
My tea was boiled eggs and soldiers! The after school favourite, the feel-good food of grandparents everywhere and something I’d not indulged in for the thick end of 25 years (I really don’t look that old do I?!).
Simple but GOOD!
After I’d finished and was re-living some of my salad days the thought hit me. I’d set aside simple meals such as boiled egg and soldiers in favour of more complicated, more interesting and, I suppose, more grown-up dishes and my gaming has moved in a similar path. Gone are the days when munching dots while being chased by ghosts was fun, gone are the times when the Invaders from Space were successfully repelled by my little tanks, gone are the hours spent acting as the Defender of the people – ripping over the landscape both catching and fleeing from the ghosts of those lost to the grappling of the extra-terrestrial monsters.
I miss them. Things were generally much simpler then and I find myself harking back. I am therefore, going to pay a visit to the Arcade and browse through the Classics to see how much simple fun I can find, one has caught my eye already!
Paperboy – I remember this one!
