I... I made up my own games for everyone to play. I was pretty weird as a lil guy. Like for example tag... On the lines. It was normal tag only you could only step on the lines drawn in our school's field. There were PLENTY, so it was amazingly fun. Jumping between them worked too.
Eventually, I added POWERUPS. It was just that the guy chasing everyone could drag a powerup whenever he wanted... And they were almost usually made up. We ended setting caps as a theme on them, since Mario64 came out recently. God it was so awesome. From Invincibility caps, to "everyone moves slower" cap. Incredibly, we somehow RESPECTED THE RULES, AS UNFAIR AS THEY GOT.
Then, on the place I spent my summers, I created a game called "PACMAN". Yes, I'm that original. It involved running around a swimming pool, or climbing the fence to go on top, near the water. There were POWER PELLETS on each corner of it, making the one playing as PACMAN able to chase the GHOSTS. It was awesome seeing everyone chase that one guy, splitting to corner him, and eventually run away as fast as they could when it reached the power pellet place. It was a paper bin (which no longer exist, by the way). We somehow developed the ability to know when the pellets expired and all...
Then, I sometimes made my own board games out of paper and VHS cassetes from back in the day, or even domino chain reactions with them... I remember one time when it went from my bedroom to the dinning room... Ah...
!!!
Well, yeah, I was happy as a child, I guess...
