X is probably the toughest letter in the alphabet for the A to Z challenge. There just aren't that many X words that make a good topic. Fortunately, I can fall back on my childhood and bring up that old video game, Xevious.
I must have been about 5 when my parents bought me an Atari 7800, a very primitive video game system. One of the half dozen games I got with it was Xevious, which sucked up many happy hours. I actually preferred Galaga, but Xevious was fine for a change of pace.
Over the years, I've played various old video games, though the ancient Atari games haven't really piqued my interest. I can honestly say I grew out of them, and to be fair I haven't really played any games for months. Video games are losing their allure, as I find my time shrinking with different projects and responsibilities. Maybe, someday, I'll feel the urge to pick up a controller again, but for now I'll leave that to my kids, who still have some time to waste.
Good one! I've never hear of Xevious before.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true that as we get older it's hard to carve out the time for our skivey pursuits, and I guess that's just as well. Except, oops, that's exactly what I'm blogging about for the A to Z Challenge.
