More than just Activision's Stampede for the Atari 2600, I watched the 1981 film Clash of the Titans and listened to the 1981 Kraftwerk album Computer World.

Disney Infinity 3.0 was mostly about Star Wars and took from the movies and TV shows. There was an Inside Out playset, Marvel Battlegrounds playset and a Finding Dory playset. Also there were single figures to buy from franchises like Mulan, Jungle Book and Tron: Legacy, just to name a few. I started out with just the original series Star Wars figures but soon ended up getting almost all 46 of them.

I tried out Battleborn today, watched Mad Max Road Warrior (movie from '81), played Wizardry a lot and the got back to my rental, Odin Sphere Leifhrasir.

It's a day early for me to start 1981 for March but I couldn't resist. I made a '81 music mix for my car, watched a classic '81 movie and played an '81 game, Wizardry.

I've been making a list of games I want to play this year. I write down games coming only a month ahead because release dates are usually solid by then. After that I rate them by how much I want to play them. The highest rated go to my Gamefly que. Two months in and I don't have a five star, or "must-play", game yet, until now.

Williams would soon put out a classic video game, but their main interest was pinball. Firepower was a great table out in 1980.

I recently made a list of current gen games and rated them based on how excited I was for them. Five stars was a "must play" game; four stars said, "I really want to play it"; three stars just, "want to play it"; and two stars was a, "curious". There was no need to list one star games. You could say those were all the rest. So here is a list of my five star games for 2017 in chronological order.

Back in the day, I didn't even notice pinball machines in the arcades. I guess they were there, I just never played them, or rarely, because I don't remember a single one. But now that FarSight Studios has brought these games to consoles, I've become a fan of them. I even go to the local arcade on occasion and play the real thing.

I didn't play Zork until '81 at the earliest because that's when the IBM PC came out. My aunt had an IBM and I played Zork at her house one family visit. I don't remember playing it for very long. It's a text-based adventure where you have to figure things out as you go along. I think I got bored of the obscure solution to the game and went back to pursuing my aunt's huge scifi/fantasy book collection.

I started off with Pinball FX3 on PS4. Then I played it again on XBO. Then I played Pinball Arcade and the simulated tables. After that I played some Gears of War 4 multiplayer and surprised myself by playing it the rest of the time.
