Today’s Kids, Yesterday’s Games

Electronic Gaming Monthly has printed a great article where they took 12-year old gamers and had them play classic games from the 70s and 80s. It is hilarious, though you may feel very old before you’re through.

On Pong:

“I would never pay to play something like this.”

“I’d sooner jump up and down on one foot. By the way, is this supposed to be tennis or Ping-Pong?”

On Handheld Football:

“I don’t see how this has anything remotely to do with football.”

On Tetris:

“I just lined up six of the same color. Why didn’t they blow up?”

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
