I stopped liking video games around 1995 when the emphasis started shifting toward 3D modeling instead of gameplay. I loved many of the old 8-bit games previous to this and much prefered bouncing around a surreal 2D world full of floating penguins and pieces of fruit.
I don't play games on my phone much but when I do, I always gravitate toward the simple puzzlers and suchlike. Never felt the urge to download a fully featured 3D action game. To date, the most enjoyable phone game I've ever played is Blendoku. It's an amazing challenge (unless you're color blind in which case it's downright impossible) and the sense of satisfaction you get from completing a level is infinitely better than anything I've played on a modern console.
My parents didn't have much money so I didn't really have access to video games until finances got better and my younger brother got his first Nintendo - I must have been 15 or 16 by then - so I never was a big gamer.
For me, video games really were kid stuff in which I'd indulge every now and then. There were a couple go games I really liked, such as the whole Castlevania series, but I'd only play late at night after my brother went to bed when I had nothing better to do and he'd rented a game that I liked.
The shift to 3D meant the end of my gaming career. I never could play those games because I can't even watch without feeling dizzy - I am hyper sensitive to those things and I can give myself vertigo just thinking about it. One time I thought I was cured because it didn't immediately make me feel dizzy, so I watched a 3D game my girlfriend was playing for a while. I suffered from severe vertigo for 2 days afterwards.
All the better - the time I'd waste on game I spend reading books and learning things. Granted, people look at you kind of strange when you're sitting at the bar by yourself drinking diet cola and reading a big book before a rock show, but, CandyCrush really isn't my thing...
