By susanarchy

  • Birth

    I was born in 1987 - old right!?

  • Chess

    Chess
    Chess is a game from the 6th century but people still play it today. One of my earliest memories is of watching my mum and dad play a game of chess against each other on our kitchen table whilst the sun shined through the window and I coloured in on the floor. Unknown, 6th century, Chess, board game.

  • Monopoly

    Monopoly
    Monopoly is a really old board game that was first published in 1935. It is my mum's favourite game and when I was about 7 years old my parents sat me down and tried to teach me to play it. I remember that I loved the dog token but I couldn't count my money very well! Magie & Darrow, 1935. Monopoly. Board game, Parker Bros

    Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
    Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was on Super Nintendo and I used to love to play this with my younger sister! I can still remember how excited we were when we got a Super Nintendo way after everyone else! Nintendo, 1995, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island video game, Super Nintendo, Nintendo

  • Firewatch

    Firewatch
    Firewatch is from 2016 and is one of my favourite games ever. I love how it is so different to so many other games and really focuses on the enjoyment of walking around and looking at the beautiful world. This was an important game for me as I found it so relaxing and interesting! Campo Santo 2016, Firewatch, video game, PS4, Panic/Campo Santo

  • Life is Strange 2

    Life is Strange 2
    Right now I'm playing Life is Strange 2 - it came out in 2018 but I've only got to it now. Because it is told in episodes - I can easily play it when my 1 year old daughter is napping on the weekends. Dontnod 2018, Life is Strange 2, video game, PS4, Square Enix.
