There probably were deaths related to video games 10-15 years ago.

Furthermore, there were probably deaths relating to other stupid trivial things by crazy people as well. I'm sure a number of people killed or injured someone or themselves over having their Dungeons and Dragons character killed.

Just sayin'.

there was some show on TV (a drama) YEARS ago about a dungeons and dragons killing. I thought it was true...I'm not sure!

I wanted to jokingly say that 15 years ago all the gamers had was like atari and pong...but that was more like 20-25 years ago.

Still, I like my joke. Laughing

Pong was released in 1972, making it closer to 40 years old than 20-25 years old. Shocked

pong may have been released in 1972, but it was enjoyed by many generations thereafter. Laughing I
