Get Nostalgic: Today Is National Video Game Day - New York News .

​It's that sentence of the class again, the day you can fix up in your family and relive your childhood love for video games without care of existence called a geek. In honor of this great holiday, we've talked to a few people about their favourite games. Do you remember Frogger?

1. Pong (1972)
In 1972, Allen Alcorn developed Pong for Atari.

The stake was originally released as an arcade unit, but later its incredible success, the party released a home version for the 1975 Christmas season and distributed it only at Sears. Doug Hill, 60, was in college when Pong was first released, and complete the phone, he told us about his see when a Pong machine was installed at the student union of his college: "They put it in future to the pool table and the ping-pong table, and it was a fourth a game. A lot of kids spent a lot of sentence and money playing that game. Personally, I didn't work that much, because as a student, I didn't let that much disposable income, and if the prize was between beer and Pong, I was buying beer. The car was pretty dinky too; it was a dark and white TV with a solid ball; it wasn't even rounded. Instead of the joy-stick controllers that most games use now, we played by turning knobs to control the paddles."

2. Frogger (1981)

This classic game needs no introduction. Runnin' Scared's own Jen Doll recalls, "the start time I played Frogger was a really cold night in Chicago. It was New Year's Eve, and my comrade and I were staying with my parents' 'church friends,' who were passing to the same party. Their kids introduced us to Frogger, and we played it all night long. The following day we demanded it for ourselves. The splash of the frogs was irresistible."

3. The Legend of Zelda (1986-2011)
​The first Zelda game was simply titled the Legend of Zelda. From this top-down debut, the series has grown to at least 15 releases, depending on how you reckon them. Michael Chiboucas, 20, recalls for us the first time he played Link's Awakening for GameBoy Color: "I played Link's Awakening back when most video games were still these massive, mysterious worlds that seemed unimaginable to fully explore. That's what was so great about playing Zelda as a kid; the games are actually built about the unjaded sensibility of younger gamers who are willing to simply sit there for hours and hours turning into days, looking in every room, and hitting everything they see with every weapon.I probably logged a number of a month or two of hours playing as Link (a part with the like age as me) in Links Awakening and other Zelda games. They were adventure games in the truest sense of the word: there aren't many like it anymore."
