More proof that today's kids suck

[Gryph]

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."

Why don't we go down the street and ask people if they have kidz from the playstation era and letz beat down on them.

Crush. Maim. Destroy. Kill. Honestly, today's kids have sold their souls to textures, texels, gigaflops, T&L, and all the other eye candy.

 

Blasphemous indeed.

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 remember playing Gyruss on my C128 for hours. That game was hard.

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

[Ghosty]

Whew, Good Thing I'm Into Retro Game, Now K' Cant Beat Me Up.
