I've never bothered with any of those kinds of games - from seaside arcades to sonic hedgehogs to play stations and X boxes and the rest.
I play old-fashioned board games to please grandchildren, but the only one I take seriously is Scrabble. The final score doesn't bother me, but individual high scores and trying to add interesting words to the board are what I enjoy.
Raedwulf's "the person I'm trying to beat is me, not you!" I do understand.
