This is a continuation of a previous episode PH#65 Siao Lien Keh (少年家). I started a lot of conversations among friends and family about games they used to play growing up. And that includes some a little bit older than 30's. But it's fun to see the huge difference our childhood games changed. Share your own experience and stories in our Penang Hokkien forum.
