Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games

Posted by Zonk on from the in-my-day-we-only-had-8-bits-and-we-liked-it! dept.

1up.com has posted the second in an article series called "Child's Play", where they invite youngsters to experience the joys of classic gaming to hilarious effect. From the (sob) article: "Bobby: After you beat the Death Star level, there should be a snow level, then a small speeder bike level. They should make a Matrix game in the theme of Star Wars. So then you take out your sword and run up to a guy and go, "Chiiing!" And after you saw through his head, you fly inside your X-wing."

  1. Nostalgia is overrated. by CyberThalamus · · Score: -1, Troll

    Speaking as a non-whippersnapper (27 years old), I think nostalgia is going to be a real problem soon. As we start changing what it means to be human with artificial ears and eyes that can plug directly into machines, we can't keep clinging to the past. My eyes are looking firmly forward to the future, even though I did enjoy many of these classic games.

    I'd like to see any of you sit through a silent film from the 20s or listen to old radio plays.

    I know about 100 of you will respond and claim that you love silent films and have the worlds greatest collection of radio plays, and I say to you that you're full of shit.

    When we take our last breath and live on as a computer, I think we can see something really fucking big has changed.
