I play lots of games online, mainly through apps on my iPad.Very soothing and addictive!

I do a couple of online quizzes, and a jigsaw against the clock. The only game I play, and not onine, just for me, is Goldminer. I used to do a geography one once upon a time, putting places onto a map, but haven`t played it for a while.

I play a couple of games on Facebook - some started by my grandkiddies smile I try not to send any game requests to the majority of my Facebook friends as they say they don't like getting them but I do have a couple of friends who also play so we tend to keep to the same ones. Like on-line Backgammon, Cribbage and word games.

I only do Words with Friends but have about 30 games on the go mostly with one person. DHL plays backgammon, bridge and poker with people all over the world.

Was fairly addicted to candy crush. Trying to wean myself off.

I don't know if you have an iPhone Imperfect but there something called Peak Brain Training in the Apple Store. It's free ( although you can pay if you want more games in the pro version) .

You 4 or 5 games a day , about 5 mins in total. Then you can compare your results to others in your age group. They are good little puzzles but quite addictive. As you get better new puzzles appear.

My son got me playing candy crush last year and for a few months we both did loads of it. Then we both realised what a waste of time it was; relaxing (plus point) but very addictive and time consuming (negative point). All in all we both feel better without it.

I don't do any gaming at the moment, but I do enjoy online quizzes. I likie ones where you are up against the clock and maybe - or maybe not (!)- end up on the leader board.

I have a couple of friends who keep sending me links to Candy crush and the like, but I think that if I start I won't stop and I have become bad enough at wiling away hours on GN!!! grin

I'm a bit of a geek - that's not an apology by the way smile

I love computer games and play regularly. Last night i was playing a multiplayer online game and got chatting with other players and it turned out that I was the oldest by 20 years.

It got me wondering do I have any fellow gamers out there? Anything from Candy Crush to Cross Boss to Forge of Empires?

Or am I the lonely bastion of gaming grannies smile?
