Kids Today

Pukka for­warded me this link today and killed any hope of me being pro­duc­tive. How’s that work? Well the link ends up lead­ing you to this arti­cle over at 1UP. The arti­cle takes a cou­ple of today’s youth and exposes them to some of the clas­sic games of my own youth to get their reac­tions. Here’s a quick snip to give you an idea of how well the games went over.

EGM: What do you think this character’s name is?

Parker: Dot. Or Adven­ture? That’s what this game is, isn’t it? Go up, go up, go up.

Bobby: Stu­pid duck. I hate the duck. The duck is evil.
