Such as the classic video games we grew up with.

Personally, after reading the part where they play Tetris, I wanted to kill all of them in order to protect the gene pool.

Those pesky kids deserve some spanking.

the pong comments were kinda funny..
donkey kong comments were also slightly funny
the electronic football comments made me laugh
the tetris comments deserve brutal death
they didn't insult SMB.. they at least know better.. helps that mario still appears in good games
ET comments are accurate

LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

I remember playing Super Mario B. on a SNES back in the day when I was about 7. We switched off after every level and made it to the final level (the one with all the lava and creepy-sounding music, at least to the best of my memory after all these years) before all our lives ran out. damn.



------------------
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

If they were stranded in a small shack out in the country and the only thing to do was play Pong, they'd like it real quick.

Man, I've got all that stuff. Granted, some of it's on emulator, but I did used to play DK at a redneck restaurant in the area when they had it. One game I've gotten into just because the movie's so frickin cool is TRON.

Off and on for the past month, my room's hosted scores of friends, enemies, and whatnots because I've got both NES and SNES hooked up in here. We've played Duck Hunt, SMB, SMB3, SMW, DKC, Bases Loaded 2...good stuff.

I appriciate the old games. Hell, the classics are great fun to play.

I feel like bashing those kids heads in. Though I'm young, I grew up on a little bit of Atari, Alot of NES, and TONS of Sega Genesis. I still play those systems advidly every week.

I remember when we used to think things were cool when we found a new morph in VectorMan or when Mario got a flower. These kids just piss me off.

Oh well. It's still pretty annoying. I wasn't around for Pong, but it doesn't suck.

I think the last time this was posted (quite a while ago) it was decided that the things these kids say do not fit their ages.

I refuse to believe this is happening! - It should be a legal requirement that, before you buy any piece of gaming kit, you get up to date on the rich history of videogaming first and take an exam. Ha.

I'm actually surprised at what kids so young know and say these days. Maybe you were to busy playing pong.

First of all, I really don't think those kids said all that. Second, if it is real, it's so sad. Kids have so little imagination now than they used to. Poor brainwashed *******s.

Must... kill! I used to have that handheld football game. What fun. *fondness* And they didn't even respect SMB? Sopace Invaders?! Come on... :[

Yep, most of us kids are jackasses when it comes to games. I LOVE the classics, and I wish I could still get that old game, Battle Zone or something. It was a bunch of green and black blocks made into a sprite tank shooter. It was r0x0rz!!

Kids these days have no respect...

Although....


By the way, I'm surprised the one kid that knew the E.T. games were buried in New Mexico.

By the way, this article was longer in EGM.

Back in U.S. History, me and a classmate would load up tetris on our TI-83 and TI-85 respectively and play against each other. I ended up with some 20K+ at one time (scoring wasn't heavily weighted. A tetris got > 1K if you were at level 4 or so.)

Ahh those were the days.

Didn't you notice how they were mentioning GTA3, Splinter Cell, etc.? Their parents obviously let them play M rated games.

Tetris is perhaps the most devastating weapon ever unleashed in the Cold War... I can't remember how much time I've spent playing it, on numerous systems... Their words speak of their utter ignorance. It's a shame what the new generation of gamers is turning out to be. I remember back around 1999, when I was truly enraged when kiddies like them thought that "3D" made games instantly better than two dimensional games, especially when the engines then could not compete with beautifully drawn sprite-based graphics.

Also, most of today's games are too pathetically easy, and short. I don't care how "realistic" a game looks, I'm not dropping between 30 and 60 dollars on a game that will take less than 10 hours to beat, and on my first try, I will beat it flawlessly, with my eyes closed, and could still do it with one hand tied behind my back, and the other cut open and immersed in Dave's Insanity Sauce.

I believe I was 12 when I learned what a Glock was. I "asked an adult", after reading a newspaper article involving a police accident.
