Videogames like Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter used to fill our childhood days ... well, at least to those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. In those days, we had to play them on via a game console connected to our television sets. These days, however, millions of games like these are readily available for download to our smartphones and tablets. To many, these games are a great time-filler (or time waster!). And for some people, games have become an obsession, or an addiction. But what exactly is the charm of videogames? Why are they so irresistible?

Street VIP: Wednesday-Friday, 9am-10am

This week, 988 features three creators of some of today's biggest entertainment-based products. Listen to the stories of the people behind the globally successful game Angry Birds, South Korean television game show Running Man and Chinese reality-based talent show, The Voice Of China.

Night Chat: Monday-Friday, 10pm-12am

Following 988's nightly chat with local indie band Platform 11 and Taiwanese singer-songwriter Yen-J, this week, the station chats with Malaysian duo Fuying & Sam on Wednesday, and Taiwan's Bai Yin on Thursday. The DJs talk about everything under the sun so be sure to tune in to these sessions!

Music VIP: Monday-Friday, 2pm

In 1999, singer Zhou Hui's cover of the song Yue Ding (or Pact, which was originally by Faye Wong) propelled her to stardom. That same year, Zhou Hui was dubbed as one the "four heavenly young queens" of Taiwan Mandopop, alongside Elva Hsiao, Jolin Tsai and Stephanie Sun.

Today, her career may seem less illustrious than the rest as she is hardly in the limelight, but Zhou Hui believes she still has a lot to offer the music world.
