How do the old games fare up to kids today?

I found this amusing:

For those of you who ever played E.T. on the Atari 2600...wait till you read what the kids had to say...FUNNY!!

[beam]

I have that issue and laughed my butt of on the discussion about pong! hahahaha

That and ET really is the worst game ever!

[Yudanja]

haha

John: Yes, I used a power-up.

Tim: What? There's no power-ups in Pong. The concept of a power-up hadn't been invented yet.

and (regarding Tetris)

John: I just lined up six of the same color. Why didn't they blow up?

[shartley]

Typical answers... and typical cluelessness. But funny.


"Why would you pay to play this in an arcade when you can get it free on your cell phone?" LOL Priceless. When I was growing up, the only person I knew that had a "cellphone" was James Bond.

[PyRo]

Hey, pong is great... If your drunk.

That reminds of how much that movie sucked, and I guess they've never seen a Super Scope 6, anyone else have of these things besides me?

[Miscue]

Super scope was cool, so was the NES light gun.

The NES robot thing was kinda pointless, and the PowerPad people would just use their hands with it. The PowerGlove totally sucked. It even sucked if you just used it as like a gamepad controller and not as a glove.

They should have showed them this movie and explain to them how people went to go see it just to get a preview of Super Mario 3

Remindes me of a scene in Back to the Future:II.

kid1: "You have to use your hands!"
kid2: "That's for babies!"

Tim: It's strange that fire moves in this and has eyes. Oh no, the fire's coming. It's going to eat you. Are these barrels alive, too? Everything's alive. And Donkey Kong's mouth is made of pluses. Look: Plus, plus, plus, minus. They're trying to teach you math by brainwashing you.

Probably one of the funniest things i have read in a while.

Kirk: I'm sure everyone who made this game is dead by now.

Now thats just harsh...

[ASDadam]

Wow....i'm almost 20 and i feel really old with these kids. I still have the ORIGINAL pong still in the factory box. Along with a Coleco Vision with the Atari adapter. Even worse, its hooked up and i still play it once in a long while Got to love the Smurfs for Atari.
