Who remembers Piko,
Tumbang Preso, Harangan Tubig and Luksong Tinik? I bet those born in the 70's or 80's will say yes. I
really miss playing those games and I wish I could still at my age. The energy
and excitement makes me want to turn back the time. Laughter and sweat are the
results of doing those kinds of activities plus the chance to mingle with
friends and siblings. Interaction allows every child to develop their social
skills and physical health benefits from those games.
Slowly every year, new games were introduced. Game boards, Game and Watches, Atari, Family Computer, Brick Games and Tamagochi are some of those games that eventually replaced the Chinese Garter.
Now comes the digital age. The dawn of cellular phones triggered the influx of modern games tough computers were accessible but were mainly used for study and work. PlayStation, Xbox and Wii quickly evolved and made constant upgrades that left people wanting for more. The mobile technology adopted the features of computers and created tablets and phones with Android and Windows applications. The prices decreased as the number of gaming products multiplied, which allowed people from all walks of life; young or old, rich or poor, educated or not; gained access to these gadgets.
This just shows that playing is not restricted to a person’s status. It may have evolved from physical to mental and mental to eye-hand coordination challenges, same satisfaction is achieved.
Each person will remember the games depending on the generation they belong to. What matters is the experience and the skills developed through it. Always remember the main purpose and idea of the game. Be it a physical challenge, mental or I.Q. test, strategy building and tactics, response/reaction test and so on. Just play, enjoy and let us see what’s coming next.
