      I starting saying that I love video games.
      Actually there groups of scientists that developed video games so people could help with their research. I remember last year I played a little space game on my phone to help a scientific group who worked on cancer research to map regions of the DNA. I will put up the link if I can find it and they still need help.
      So most of them are just for fun…. Some of them are helping science 😉
