For those that might not be aware, July 8th is National Video Game Day. While nearly every day seems to be some kind of holiday, National Video Game Day has actually been celebrated for at least 29 years now, according to video game historian Frank Cifaldi. Regardless of the day’s origins, gamers rarely need much of an excuse to celebrate their favorite titles, and that’s what many did on social media today. Throughout the short history of the medium, video games have come to mean a lot to the people that play them. It seems that every person that’s ever played a game has a favorite that means something important to them.
