More proof that today's kids suck

Recommended Posts

Donkey Kong is "lame." Tetris is "boring." Space Invaders "needs a superbomb or something." And why play Pong when it's more fun to "jump up and down on one foot"? Hey, save your irate letters--we didn't say this stuff. The nostalgia-nuking commentary is from EGM's November 2003 issue, in which we had kids of the PlayStation generation playtest classic games from the '70s and '80s. Mortified gaming grown-ups wrote in to call it blasphemy--and call these outspoken scamps a name that rhymes with "brittle truckers."

I'm from the old-skool - howeever I must agree with

those kids. Pong was boring the first time I ever saw it.

And people would actually go out and buy a pong console.

I always hated Tetris. Space Invaders keeps interest for

about 5 minutes max.

 

They didn't like Galaga !!

i resent that, being 14 i like SOME of those games i dont like pong because it is so simple but the original donkey kong and tetris and space invaders are good games and i dont like being bunched in with a group of kids who cant appreciate the roots of video gaming
