40. Not a video game, but we called it “the long winter.” We’d build a huge fort then hunt our stuffed animals to store for food. Some cherry coke from the fridge, leftover candy from whatever holiday recently passed, and some other various junk food; we’d stay in there all weekend playing and pretending we were snowed in until April. We once built the tv into the fort and played Nintendo and watched vhs tapes for days.
