That is, for years it has been widely accepted that video games and gaming do little more than corrupt the young mind. It is only recently, within the last decade or so, that video games are obtaining the positive recognition that they rightfully deserve with, for example, numerous studies suggesting various cognitive and emotional benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These benefits include (but are not limited to) amelioration in basic visual processes, attention and vigilance, as well as improvements in executive functioning (efficient problem solving and decision-making) and reversing mental decline that inevitably accompanies aging. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Early Years<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the initial negativity towards gaming (and gamers), I have been lucky enough to grow up with video games all throughout my life, beginning, of course, with the now classic Sega Genesis. Honestly, the majority of my fondest memories of gaming I remember as if they were yesterday (that alone proves the massive positive impact that gaming has had on all our lives). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, as is the case of anyone with a Genesis, I had all the classics including Sonic the Hedgehog (1, 2 and 3), Eternal Champions, and X-Men. Apart from that, two highly vivid memories of mine in regards to the Genesis just so happen to be on my birthday and Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Concerning my birthday, my father decided to take my brother and me to Toys \u201cR\u201d Us and gave me the opportunity to choose any gift I wanted. Now, of course, being myself I sprinted towards the electronics departments in hopes for a new game to add to my ever expanding collection. I even recall there being a demo station for the newly announced Sonic 3D Blast. Needless to say, I was not impressed, I longed for the classic Sonic formula. This gameplay just seemed far too foreign to me and, because of this, it would be years later until I gave the game a proper chance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the game that I did end up choosing, with my father\u2019s encouragement, was one that I cherished for years to come. It was none other than Street Fighter II. Similarly, and I recall this being my favorite childhood Christmas, I received from my parents Sonic &amp; Knuckles (I was ever ecstatic to continue playing the classic Sonic formula) while my brother received Comix Zone. Despite being released at the very end of Genesis\u2019s lifespan (the Sega Saturn had already been released), Comix Zone was a massive accomplishment and still holds as one of my favorite games of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Acquiring My First Game Boy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Little did I know at the time that the Sega Genesis would be the gateway console to my love and passion for video games. As another birthday soon approached, my mother took it upon herself to, once again, bring me to Toys \u201cR\u201d Us, giving me the opportunity to choose any gift my heart desired. At this point, it may be quite obvious what my mind was set on, video games! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I left the store that day feeling like the happiest child in the world (something that movies have never accomplished) because I had just acquired my very own Gameboy Color (lime green, of course) with a copy of Pokemon Yellow! I can say with pure confidence that Nintendo managed to increase my love for gaming tenfold and from this day forward I was team Nintendo (or so I thought). With this in mind, my next purchase was The Legend of Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening and, just like that, Zelda (and still to this day) became my favourite franchise of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Rise Of The 64<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fast forward to grade 4, Nintendo 64 was currently the most sought-after console by children and I knew I needed it in my life. My mother knew that I wanted (needed) it because I would never stop talking about it. To my surprise, as a reward for my end of the year accomplishments, my parents took it upon themselves to purchase my brother and I our very own Nintendo 64 with two very crucial video games; Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Without a shadow of a doubt, my fondest memories of gaming were with the Nintendo 64 (I literally had no other care in the world, gaming was basically my life). I acquired all the classics such as Majora\u2019s Mask, 007 Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2 and, of course, WWF No Mercy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nevertheless, as is the case with any new technology, when you see someone else have it, you want it! Arriving in high school, despite still adoring my 64, I felt that I was missing something in my life, Playstation 2. As was our usual routine, my brother and I asked my mother for one and, low and behold, Christmas 2003 we finally obtained what we longed for with none other than Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and WWE Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nintendo 64\u2019s No Mercy ignited my passion for wrestling games and I was essentially addicted. A few years later, I took it upon myself (with my savings) to rekindle my love for Nintendo and purchased a Nintendo Gamecube with a much needed copy of Twilight Princess.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Tradition Continues<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From that day forward, I owned (and still do) every console and handheld that both Sony and Nintendo have released. Regardless, it goes without saying that as one gets older, spare time to pursue the hobbies and passions one loves becomes increasingly difficult and time constrained.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, that will never eradicate one\u2019s memories nor will it prevent the realization that videos have and will continue to inspire and be nothing more than a positive force in one\u2019s life, both cognitively and emotionally and, thankfully, the world is beginning to understand and come to terms with the fact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>So, now that you know my gaming story, why not share a gaming story of your own!<\/h3>\n<h6>Featured Image Source:https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/3tf-sQVk_dI<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is one thing that the media is excellent at achieving, it is blowing everything out of unwanted proportion.
