In the 21st century, going from video games to board games feels backwards. I enjoy escapism entertainment and games (or anything interactive) has always been my preferred medium, followed closely by reading.
I grew up as the personal computer and later gaming consoles first entered people's homes. Throughout my growing up I played both video games and tabletop games, most notably Dungeons and Dragons of the latter. On the Atari I played Temple of Apshai, Zork, and many of the adventure/platforming games available on the Atari 800. But, up until the mid-80's, there weren't any good substitutes for table-top gaming.
