Everyone Plays!

Dictionary.com describes “Game” as: An activity providing entertainment or amusement.

Everyone in the world has played a game sometime in their life. From the childhood game Hide & Go Seek to adulthood like marriage, and everything in between. There are games you get physical like basketball to games that work the mind like chess. Games can be played to pass time or to make money — there are even games they play on television and I like Match Game. What do you do on a rainy day when you are not allowed to go out and splash in the mud puddles? Play in the house. These are the games of the Davenport Family Rainy Day Activities.

Growing up in the late 60s through the 70s and into early 80s there were no console, computer, or arcade games; when I was five in 1970 the first arcade game was introduced — I never saw it, i played like old fashioned boys did — outside in the dirt.

The first console game by was introduced the following year — again I never saw it, we were told to play outside. It was not until 1980 when arcades became the place for kids to hang out, the only thing one needed was plenty of quarters.

The first computer game was made in the 50s, but no one had one to play it, it was not until 1977 when Apple introduced the first Home Computer, but did we get one? No, but I knew someone who did.

Okay, Okay, this is not a history lesson, just getting my point across that I play video, board, and card games. To make up for what we did not have when I was growing up. Why should all the fun be had by todays punk kids?

The following is a list of Xbox, Nintento, Game Boy, Game Boy Advanced, Game Cube, SNES, Super Nintendo, NES, Playstion, Card, and Board games for Davenport Family Rainy Day Activities — for the Whole Family. Because when it is unpleasant outside, the best thing to do is to sit down with the family and play a game inside.
