Great Uncle Fred? Please settle an argument between me and Brick, who used to be my friend. Please tell me what is the greatest video game ever? I won`t tell you what I think is the greatest but I reckon you`ll think the same! (Lawrie, Autumn 2008)

Lawrie, please forgive me. I have no respect for video games whatsoever and therefore no knowledge. I remember when my great nephew Jack was about six and playing a game all day long, I asked his mother what was the point. She said that with this game you could point to letters and thereby make words! I still do not understand why this game was considered superior to a pen and paper. And there is no video game that I have ever seen in action since which seems anything other than a complete waste of time, amusing perhaps for a while but basically brainless and productive of nothing. Sorry I can`t answer your question, Lawrie, but please tell me if, and if so why, I am wrong.
