Can Kids Tolerate Classic Games?

Thanks to EGM for their feature subjecting today's children to yesterday's gaming classics, as they "...rounded up nine children of the PlayStation generation - ages 10 to 13 - and forced them to play titles from the '70s and '80s." Games the kids comment on include Pong ("I would never pay to play something like this"), Tetris ("Which button do I press to make the blocks explode?"), and, evilly, E.T. for the Atari 2600 ("Didn't they bury this game in Mexico or something?")

From the review of Donkey Kong:
EGM: Who's that chick Mario is rescuing up there?
Brian: It's Princess Peach.
Kirk: It's a hooker.

That's it

For real this time. I've said it before. When I have kids, I'm making them play video games right. No johnny, you can't have zelda 2 until you beat zelda 1. Now sit your ass down and find some triforce pieces. You want a PS4? Hah! You haven't even beaten pitfall yet! How can you expect to play those new fancy games if you suck at the old ones so much.

I will raise my children to be the video game masters. Out of the womb and into the hands goes the joystick. The kind with a single orange button.
