As a matter of fact yes (I am 43), Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac Man, or my all time favorite (Donkey Kong). Much simpler time, no worries about being told to “git gud”, being hashtag wrecked or other crazy [censored].
My Dad was a hobbyist, we had a bit of money and he had a dedicated room with all of the aforementioned game cabinets among pinball machines, Atari, C64....
Only score I cared about was my previous best. Personally, it is hard for me to relate to a gamer mentality, or perhaps I see things differently.
JK on the Paxil comment, just another witticism that clearly missed the mark, I meant no offense

OP said 30, I said 40. Either way it’s cool that a niche hobby back in the day is mainstream, I may not like most of the mindset but I still stick to it
Edit: apparently I am confused, two posters one icon

You obviously never played fifa
That's the truth. That game has been responsible for more broken controllers and household damage than any other.

I agree this game is some carnival level of ripoff. I wish I was at the FTC and could launch an investigation into their practices. It's pretty comical.

I find ranked seasons relaxing compared to FUT champs

45 year gamer here. I can understand the anger but it’s not worth it.

Mario Kart just smiles, and launches shells at everybody.

I’m telling you, we need an over 40 men’s league where our old eyeballs are all on the same level playing field. RS is totally frustrating at times. One game you’re hitting great, the next game you can’t touch a fastball.

Me and Donkey Kong have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Whenever we are at a place with a DK machine my wife always ends up having to physically drag me away.

"git gud". God I loathe that comment. If a blind man told you her couldn't see would you say, "Really, I see perfectly well."? If an insomniac told you they had trouble speaking, would you reply with, "Really? My head falls asleep as soon as it hits the pillow!"?

Weird, one minute Demise was preaching. Next minute he is banned?
Preaching was his Demise.
Well played...

If these guys made super Mario brothers you would die from jumping squarely on top of a goomba
