Electronic Gaming Monthly rounded up a bunch of kids, and had them play classic video games. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.
Niko: Hey-Pong. My parents played this game.
Brian: It takes this whole console just to do Pong?
Kirk: What is this? [Picks up and twists the paddle controller] Am I controlling the volume?
John: I’m just going to do this [twists the paddle controller as rapidly as possible].
Tim: John, don’t do that. You’ll die.
Andrew: This is a lot like that game. Um, whatchamacallit-air hockey.
Sheldon: Except worse.
Andrew: Blip. Blip. Blip. Blip.

To the person who talked about working in the video game industry, and mentioning missing out on the 16 bit Nintendo days. There weren’t any 16 bit Nintendo days. The original NES is 8-bit and the SNES is 32-bits. Now the SEGA Genesis is 16 bit, you must be too young to remember that well.
The rest of what I have to say is off topic in referance to the orignal post.
So I will continue it on my own website instead, because it came up just the other day on another site i frequent.
oops my site is http://www.tzun.com
sorry.
I read that same article and thought it was wondeful! I love the other things that they said about the other games as well… though the comments about ET were probably the best!
*sniff* *sniff* Those where good times, I can still hear the pinging of the pong game in my head. And the first Atri Pac Pam hehe Good Times I tell ya. The newer systems, too many buttons for me to remember what to…what pretty colors.
No seriously, I loved those games and some day those little rat bast..ds will be sitting in their rocking chair looking at the newest stuff for their kids going…remember Grand Theft Auto III, that was just the best…
hehehe Life goes on 🙂
