Play Station Generation!!!!


Guys, I literally missed this bus altogether, now the big ticket item this Christmas besides the new Elmo is the PS 3. I have a PS 2 that I bought last year solely for the reason that I needed to have one in the house. I have used it twice for a total time of 20 minutes...

What happened to going to the arcades to play games. Growing up in Nairobi as a teeneager in the 80's, I used to go to Playland & Pop-in along Moi avenue. Those days we also had to keep an eye on Mr. Shaw the most feared plain clothes policeman who was on the lookout with any kids in school uniform playing machines... Those were the good old days and then walk over to Wimpy on Kenyatta Avenue and hang out with a coke & a burger, now that was a hot dating joint... Pop-In was below Burgerland across the street from the Big Barlcays Bank on Kenyatta Avenue...

So for all you new generation PS 2's & 3's.... enjoy and hope that laggards like us will catch on pretty quick...

A huge sign for the fast & changing times that we are living in today....

Sad thing is that kids hardly play outside nowadays even in nai.Arcades have now become relics and novelties.
