VNTYPL8S Game Review

When I was younger, somewhere between five and eight years old, my family took a few road trips that I still have fond memories of. The era in which these trips took place, the early ‘90s, is worth noting as it’s part of what made these trips memorable. 

Before cell phones, tablets, and portable gaming systems were widely available, long road trips were often a struggle to answer the question “How can I entertain/distract myself for X hours?” Surprisingly, my family found a variety of answers, including a “game” involving license plates. 

The game consisted of identifying license plates, on cars driving by, from various states in an attempt to find as many as possible during the drive. It was a race of sorts where the first person in our car to point out a new state license plate earned a point and added to their total. When the drive was finished, we tallied up points and declared a winner. 

Not only did VNTYPL8S send me on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it also turned out to be a fun, laugh-inducing experience for everyone that had a parking spot at the table.
