I'm a geek, work as a computer engineer, minored in math, blah blah blah.
I don't like chess. I never cared to learn the tricks, patterns, the playstyle, or anything else related to the game. Do I know the game and can play by the rules? Sure, but I think that other games need to be included as well.
The Alamo Drafthouse http://www.drafthouse.com/ (San Antonio/Austin areas) has been doing his for years. They don't have the over 21 thing, but they have the eating, dining, beer, and even when me and my wife went to watch Toy Story 3, the kids were well behaved because the parents wanted this atmosphere too!
And they did come out with a wireless unit later, the NES Satellite

Takes six C batteries:) (or was it D?...)
Parents still have one. Works great. Just don't walk in front of it when my dad is trying to get that L block into place.
I sense exaggeration. There are what, perhaps 20-25 games that could still be considered just as good today (if that many)? There were what, just under 800 games published in the US for the NES? Small sample selection.
Same thing goes for the Xbox, PS2, SNES, etc. Huge libraries, few games that will last and last and last.

I think I played the hero in this video game once...wasn't it called Space Quest 2?
