A 90-year-old woman is in the spotlight over her obsession with video games.
Hamako Mori from Japan is also in the Guinness World Records books for being the world’s oldest Youtube gamer.
Hamako Mori, known as “Gamer Grandma” to her over 400,000 YouTube subscribers, started gaming 39 years ago. Her YouTube channel launched in 2015, and she posts up to four videos a month.
In her clips, she does everything from unboxing new consoles to broadcasting her gaming prowess.
Mori started playing video games about 39 years ago after watching her children play and soon developed interest.
Mori started out with the cassette vision console released in Japan in July 1981 but moved on to the classic Japanese Nintendo Entertainment System, later switching to Playstation in the ’90s.
The gamer, who lives in Chiba, south-east of Tokyo with her family, said she has played about 200 titles since she took up the hobby decades ago.
She initially played alone until she launched a gaming YouTube channel under the name Gamer Grandma in 2014 in order to connect with other gamers from across various parts of the world.
Mori counts the “Grand Theft Auto” series among her favorites.
She however admitted she didn’t Play Station 4 until recently, saying, “It’s difficult to play. But recent action games are visually spectacular. They use actors for characters. So I’m obsessed with it now.”
“I receive a lot of comments saying don’t work too hard. Everyone is so kind. Their comments leave a strong impression on me and make me want to make more videos that people enjoy.
“I still look forward to everyone’s comments. They also say watching my video gives them hope for the future. I feel so happy. That’s why I want to create lots and lots of videos. That’s my dream.”.
