How I Got Into VIDEO GAMES As An OLDER PERSON - 1970s
5How I Got Into VIDEO GAMES As An OLDER PERSON - 1970s // I’m 54 years old and I played FortNite every day for the last three years. One of the questions I get asked all the time, "How did I get into video games as an 'older' person."
This is the first episode of an occasional video series where I answer that question. Let's rewind the clock to almost 50 years ago at the dawn of the video game industry.
