Video games never died off after the Atari came out, not even a little. It was at most Boys clubs, if you didn't have a system a few of your friends certainly did, there were movies like Tron (which was released in 82), that had mutliple arcade games and some video games released for it.

I grew up through those years and ever since they started being common (when I was in elementary school), games were a big part of most kids lives.

Me more then most, heck, I learned to code in basic from LOGO and created my own video games back in the floppy disc days before there were even game stores or a way to get PC games from a store, but I also had a friend who paid $70 bucks for a copy of Tengan Tetris (special version) back in the nintendo days. Games where a big deal from the mid 70's on. Some years were better then others, and there were certainly some slow years (years where during the summer I just replayed the original Might and Magic games until Phantasy Star Online and D2 came out)...but there was no point in time where video games died or came close to dying.

There is not one year I can remember where I didn't have at least a few games I really liked.
