Gaming's Greatest Generation

The Escapist has an article up discussing what they refer to as The Greatest Generation of Games, ala the people who fought in World War II. From the article: "The decade between the Fall of Atari and the Rise of Doom was a dark age for many gaming companies, as wave after wave perished in an onslaught of returns and red ink. Arcade gaming vanished, seemingly, overnight. Computer gaming seemed like it was going to be relegated to geeks; console gaming, to children. But just as modern society was birthed only after the fall of Rome swept away Antiquity, so, too, modern gaming was born from the ashes of the Golden Age, with products from upstart companies like Nintendo, Sega, and Electronic Arts."

Well, as long as we're going to post every single Escapist artile on slashdot, can we talk about their horrible, and almost criminal, abuse of HTML? Watch what happens when you make the window too small (and try scrolling). Watch what happens when you try to select a block of text. PLEASE, STOP THE MADNESS
