Got it from the RvB main page. Basicly, they took kids from 9 - 12 and sat them down to play the classics, Tetrix, Pong, and Super Mario, along with some others. I hate kids.

I've always thought pong sucked....even when I had bought it with my old atari. All the other games rocked tho!

What kinda kid would turn down a game of Chess with his father, and choose a cheesy video game instead? Kids these days have no respect! Besides, the Game of Kings is the shizzy <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>.

Yeah. When I was growing up my goal was to get mario to the end of that level at ALL COSTS!

The tetris thing is true too. I mean how can kids NOT know tetris? It's only the game that jesus would play if he could play any game he wanted.

God damn it, these damn kids, no wonder the world is headed for *****ville.

They think Super Mario Brothers SUCKS? WTH? And Donkey Kong too?

I'm glad they didn't show these little ingrate **** the real classics like Pitfall or Zaxxon...

If I were their parents, I would beat them. Daily. And I'd be a model parent too.

I'm not old, I'm just more <i>mature</i> than before.

Geminosity · November 2003

lol, unfortunately you can't blame them too much... they live in a day and age where space invaders is in colour on their phones and telling them about how people used to play a black and white version with worse graphics for money in arcades ^^;

It's kinda like showing us the wonders of living in a cave... the only difference is the timescale =D

If you took the old classics and whapped shiny new 3D graphics on them they'd probably think they were great <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I posted this in the '@' thread originally by accident =3

Burr · November 2003

My greatest shame, I never beat Super Mario Bros....

Nope, never, not once, and I still have it to, just never get around to playing it!

Someday, kids will ask "What was Half-Life", I hope Im dead and buried by that time!

I hate to sound like an idiot, but why coat hangers?

Burr · November 2003

Hmm, I hope this has nothing to due with cheap abortions...thats my guess.

Renegade · November 2003

I seem to remember the donkey from Retarded Animal Babies bringing up something about a rusty coat hanger, in a situation with similar cirumstances. My guess is you're right.

esuna · November 2003

I think if you don't know why a coat hanger, it's best not to ask.

I read this thing a while back actually, and i found myself laughing my arse off. Somehow they actually managed to find kids that are funny, i don't know how, i don't know where from, but they did.

Yes. I can still fondly recal my days of Space Invaders, Pong, Contra, and Duck Hunt.

Smoke_Nova · November 2003

My mother used to play an RPG (D&D Style) on the university computer with my father. An entire room for 1 computer...and they still had to bring their own paper to write stuff down.

Confused · November 2003

ZiGGY · November 2003

I havent read the article but i also hate kids.

ZiGGY · November 2003

ok read the article, all those games are wank, seriously. Try some *real* games like mario 3, civ, lemming etc etc. I did a little experiment of my own and gave my little sisters gamer friends lemmings 1 (absolutely legally honeest to god), result? 2 week addiction.

BLASPHEMER!

Man, I'm only 2 years older than 1, and 3 of some others of the kids, and even I think all those games pwn. I mean, what if someone told them that pong was the first videogame, ever? I bet one would have a stroke.

Damned kids.
