    IDK, I certainly would’ve if I could as a kid, because NES and Atari were tons of fun. I probably did actually do that on occasion when doing a sleepover with friends (we loved the Olympics game for NES with the pad).

    I wouldn’t say I was addicted though, I excelled in school and made sure to finish my school work on time. But I really did like games, and I still do.

      Sure, I liked them too, and certainly had SOME days I played a lot. But addiction of that magnitude means you aren’t doing much else, let alone excelling.
