OVGE is about &#8220;Classic Gaming&#8221; which seems to be early 1980&#8217;s to early 1990&#8217;s. All the old systems clogging up your attics, closets, and garages were represented. Plus many arcade games.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5109616328\/\" title=\"Picnik collage OVGE 1A by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/5109616328_233abbf23b-300x300.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Picnik collage OVGE 1A\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>SPB must have played on almost two dozen systems. Most of which he had never seen before. Games of all different genres. It was amazing to watch him pick up the controller and start playing these games. Young people today, they are amazing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5109622048\/\" title=\"Picnik collage OVGE #3 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/5109622048_51616abe49-300x300.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Picnik collage OVGE #3\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I loved watching him so engrossed and absorbed in something.
