Totally interesting article someone over at NeoGaf transcribed part of.  I have to say, it really amazes me to see that attitude back then.  Having been born in 81, I'm right in the NES sweet spot for getting hooked on games.  That also means I just missed the arcade revolution that was going on prior to that.


It makes me feel kind of stupid that I participate in the same arguments that were apparently just as ridiculous back then.

I find the article extremely eye opening and entertaining.  Having been born in 81, I was right in the sweet spot for getting hooked on games via the NES, but totally missed the arcade revolution that was going on just prior to that.


It kind of makes the fact that we all argue about the same thing to this day seem juvenile and pointless.  I guess maybe I knew that already.


Newsflash.  People like different things!
