Timeline of a Gamermom…

Posted by dkidwell on April 11th, 2006 — Posted in parenting

For various reasons, I’ve been pieceing this together for the past month or so.  It highlights games through the years that meant something special at the time:
1982 – Atari 2600 and Superman – diligence and work as a 12 year old to get a score of 1:43

1984 – Monopoly – books on Monopoly strategies

1986 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – as a break from Dungeons & Dragons – playing a seriously intelligently psionic squirrel.

1989 – Call of Cthulhu and the beginning of my collection of dice.

1990 – Online MUDS & MOOS

Boardgaming – Cosmic Encounter, Dune, Junta, Kremlin

~~~

October, 1993 – Parenting begins…”Dice are not a mouth toy!”

1993 – Magic The Gathering (card game)

1999 – Half Life & Counterstrike

1999 – Age of Empires II

2000 – Diabolo II
