[Theoretical situation]
Great campsite, but it's a rainy, cold day and given there's no attractions or diversions in the area around the park worth venturing out to see, we're "stuck" inside. Decent data available but after awhile one just gets tired of scanning all the streaming services for something new to watch.
Not big on card games, or board games but thinking about it I do seem to recall that they make these gaming consoles where two players can participate interactively by plugging into your television! As I recall there's this ball like thing and you bat it across the screen to your opponent and they bat it back. That goes on until one or the other fails to successfully return it. I think they called the game something like "Pong"?
Asking around about this game I must say I got some pretty strange looks as apparently they have come a LONG way since this Pong thing. Even have color screens now!
Looking around I now do see that there's tons of games and a variety of consoles available. But it does seem that almost all these games are quite violent! Blood & guts, shoot 'em up, kill or be killed kind of games. Sheesh, that just seems a bit too stressful and gory for my taste.
Wondering if anyone might know of a system that offers games that might be at least a bit more cerebral and less violence based? I did do some searching but haven't really been able to find much. And, It would not be fit for a public form to describe what I found when I searched for "adult games". Apparently the word "adult" these days is a code word for some pretty naughty stuff.
