Hi Stephen, my condolences to you and your family.
I have a special place in my heart for Elevator Action too, albeit not for the reasons you do. (The game that probably best transports me to a particular time and place is the original arcade Outrun, which takes me back to the little arcade in the Fujiya Hotel in Hakone with my grandmother.)
Elevator Action really resonated with me because it was one of the few games of the era that I played that was set in the “real” world, using real objects like elevators, escalators and lights as key mechanics. The idea that you could create a game out of something as mundane as elevators was conversely quite magical for young me.
My condolences Stephen. Mine isn’t a video game memory but whenever i think of Tintin I’m reminded of my late uncle who had a treasured collectors set but of all the kids he’d only let me read them because he trusted I would treat them with respect. Even at 7 I recognised the respect he afforded me.
Thank you for sharing, Stephen. This really touched me, and I'm thankful games have the power to reconnect us (even if through memory) with loved ones.
Games are nice! I was just playing the usual free apps until I downloaded the Katanaspin app from https://katanaspinuk.net/app/ . Mate, it’s a game-changer. You get casino games, live tables, and sports betting all in one place — and it runs smooth as butter on my phone. Plus, that welcome bonus? 100% up to £377 and 250 free spins. That’s proper value for just getting started. If you're serious about gaming and want to take it to the next level, this is where the fun properly begins.

Sorry man. Thank you for sharing that story. It brought up memories of family and games in my own past.

Thank you. Thats a nice touchstone and a very trusting uncle!
My condolences, this was a lovely tribute.
Best wishes to you and your family Stephen. And thank you for sharing that memory.
