VIDEO: The must-play games that everyone should check out, circa 1982
Enjoy this walk down memory lane fellow old-timers, and for you kids out there, yes, this is what how we blew off steam when we weren’t busy creating fire and fighting wooly mammoths.
Some basic points:
1. I’m confident that the kid whose dad was the “video game technician” featured in the clip, provided if he had a child, was the king of his middle or high school.
2. I guess my assumption that games today are too complicated is b.s. since folks (well, the one news reporter) was saying the same exact thing about Robotron and the like.
3. Blowing shit up is considered a complex theme? Okay.
4. Remember: the penalty of failure is “video death.”
5. I do love how, as much of a square this the newscaster might appear, he still addressed the subject matter with zero amount of pretense or douchiness that most reporters automatically has to have whenever talking about video games.
