In the early 90s, I remember my Grandad utilized an operating system that is unusual by todays standards it featured a 3x3 grid of tiles on a plain background, each tile being used to run a program.

I don't think he ever got to experience VR as we currently are, but I'm sure that would have blown him away if he did. It was novel for him seeing what games were capable of. While he was no longer in a place physically to play more action-oriented titles, he experienced enjoyment at simply being given the chance to explore a huge 3D open world in first person. My Grandad was someone who was amazed and entertained by technology, in particular video games.Īs an aside, I remember him buying Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion when it came out. I remember being very young and making a trip to his house with my parents and very young brother, only to be blown away by what would now be a fairly "meh" sort of a game compared to nowadays, but I enjoyed thoroughly as one of the first I ever got to play. When it came to gaming, my Grandad probably had the biggest impact on me as a kid.
