Hello dear gaming community

Thinking back a bit about my gaming experiences, at the beginning I said: I have never played anything.

And I kept that thought for a long time, so much so that in gaming communities, I always lag behind because I don't understand much of what they talk about.

In my childhood and adolescence, being the stage where you see the most gamers, I could stumble upon a Mario magazine and his tricks, see how he was passionate about certain combat video games and get to races in simulators that caught anyone.

However, I admit that my interests would be others because to this day, I do not know what is a Play4 and much less a Wii If there are other devices forgive me he,he.

The thing is, I was more of a social networker. And in that search of networks

I REMEMBERED MY FAVORITE GAME!

How could I forget it?

Hola querida comunidad jugadora

Rememorando un poco sobre mis experiencias en los juegos, al inicio dije: yo nunca he jugado nada.

Y mantuve ese pensamiento por mucho tiempo, tanto as铆 que en las comunidades de juegos, siempre quedo rezagada porque no entiendo mucho de lo que hablan.

En mi ni帽ez y adolescencia, siendo la etapa d贸nde se ve la mayor cantidad de jugadores, pude toparme con una revista de Mario y sus trucos, ver c贸mo se apasionaba con ciertos videos juegos de combates y llegar a carreras en simuladores que atrapaban a cualquiera.

Sin embargo, admito que mis intereses ser铆an otros porque hasta el sol de hoy, no s茅 que es un Play4 y mucho menos un Wii Si existen otros aparatos me perdonan je,je.

El asunto est谩, en qu茅 yo era m谩s de redes sociales. Y en esa b煤squeda de redes 隆RECORD脡 MI JUEGO FAVORITO! 驴C贸mo pude olvidarlo?

It was the era of 2000 with all that bombardment of social networks appeared the queen of the moment: Facebook. With it, appeared the games, simulators in real time, I remember that little by little was making space in our routines to visit the profile daily.

AND THEN CAME THE GAMES!

In my case, I was caught by the idea of having a pet.

Your proposal was very welcoming for those adults (yes, we were no longer teenagers), who were encouraged by passive games.

The game as such consisted of having a pet, naming it and giving you a blank or basic room: a door, a window.

There was a store with EVERYTHING! Everything our pet needed to live: from their food, clothes, furniture, home real estate and cars for their walks.

Now how did you buy this? Super easy: you had to attend your pet daily, bathe it, play with it, feed it and visit friends. In addition, there were competitions like running exercises and that also gave you points. You exchanged those points for what you wanted in the store.

Where did the game get interesting?

Well, if you had 30 friends playing Pets Society, they would show up in your profile and I would visit them all. This could take you about 3 hours in my case because the PC would hang, ha,ha,ha,ha What a time!

In addition, the game was totally addictive to shopping because as you leveled up, they gave you other empty rooms; you found them by building: the kitchen, the dining room, the garden, the playroom, the children's room, in short, at your wit's end. This was possible because they were always bringing out new collections of everything: Christmas, Halloween, vacations, back to school, seasons, in different decoration colors.

This meant that you would spend time selling, giving, buying, donating, visiting, competing for points and keeping your pet as the prettiest.

It was a game that caught my family: mother, siblings and neighbors.

When you went to visit, you would take pictures and show them off with pride as your pet always had the latest collection of everything sold in the store.

One day it ceased to exist and only the memory remained.

My pet's name was Dana and his best friend was my friend Irianny's Machucho.

And hopefully someday the vintage game that enchanted my generation will come back heh,heh.

Era la era del 2000 con todo aquel bombardeo de redes sociales apareci贸 la reina del momento: Facebook. Con ella, aparecieron los juego, simuladores en tiempo real, recuerdo que poco a poco fue haci茅ndose espacio en nuestras rutinas visitar el perfil diariamente.

Y 隆LLEGARON LOS JUEGOS!

En mi caso me atrap贸 la idea de tener una mascota.

Su propuesta fue muy acogedora para aquellos adultos (si, ya no 茅ramos adolescentes), que se animaban por los juegos pasivos.

El juego como tal consist铆a que ten铆as una mascota, le colocabas nombre y te daban una habitaci贸n en blanco o b谩sica: una puerta, una ventana.

Hab铆a una tienda con 隆TODO! Lo que necesitaba nuestra mascota para vivir: desde su comida, ropa, muebles, inmobiliarios del hogar y carros para sus paseos.

Ahora 驴C贸mo comprabas esto? Super f谩cil: ten铆as que asistir diariamente tu mascota, ba帽arla, jugar con ella, darle de comer y visitar amistades. Adem谩s, hab铆an competencias como haciendo ejercicios de carrera y eso tambi茅n te daba puntos. Esos puntos los intercambiabas por lo que quer铆as en la tienda.

>驴D贸nde se pon铆a el juego interesante?

Bueno, si ten铆as 30 amigos que jugaban Pets Society, te aparec铆an en el perfil y los visitaba a todos. Esto te pod铆a llevar como 3 horas en mi caso porque la PC se colgaba, ja,ja,ja 隆Que tiempos!

Adem谩s, el juego era totalmente adictivo a las compras porque a medida que sub铆as de nivel, te daban otras habitaciones vac铆as; all铆 iba ibas construyendo: la cocina, el comedor, el jard铆n, la habitaci贸n de juegos, de los ni帽os, en fin, a tu ingenio. Esto era posible porque siempre sacaban colecciones nuevas de todo: navidad, halloween, vacaciones, regreso a clases, estaciones, en distinto colores de decoraci贸n.

Esto hac铆a, que pasar谩s tiempo entre vender, regalar, comprar, donar, visitar, hacer competencias para obtener puntos y mantener a tu mascota como la m谩s bonita.

Cuando la iban a visitar, le tomaba fotos y la mostrabas con orgullo ya que t煤 mascota siempre ten铆a la 煤ltima colecci贸n de todo lo vendido en la tienda.

Fue un juego que atrap贸 a mi familia: madre, hermanos y vecinos.

Un d铆a dejo de existir y solo qued贸 el recuerdo.

Mi mascota se llamaba Dana y su mejor amigo era Machucho de mi amiga Irianny.
