Thank Routeco It's Friday (TRIF)

Games

The gaming world went crazy last week with the release of Grand Theft Auto Five which made a huge $5m in it’s first day, and with the release of FIFA coming soon, this shows no signs of slowing down.

The craze over these new games got us in the office thinking about the games we used to love playing. Here are some of the games mentioned; due to the varied age ranges in the office I’ve split them by decade.

80s

The 80s saw the release of the first Mario and Donkey Kong games, can you believe how 2D they used to look? The 80s was also the decade for arcade games and the first ever Pac Man was released!

90s

The 90s saw the arcade decade disappear and the console decade began with the release of games such as Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Pokemon and Tomb Raider.

00s

The 00s changed drastically for games, in particular physical interaction became popular with the release of the dance mat, the Eye Toy, and the Wii with games such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games (look how they’ve changed!).

Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned board games such as Monopoly and Scrabble?

Feel free to share what games you used to play, or maybe still play?

Why not try playing our Tech Man game http://goo.gl/g35EsC 

Have a great weekend everyone!
