I'm sure everyone who made this game is dead by now...

Gacked from heinous_bitca, learn what happens when kids play video games from their parents' era.

And now, I must confess that I had both E.T. and the Empire Strikes Back game (because Revenge Return of the Jedi - The Movie hadn't been released yet. But my favorite videogame was SuperPacMan - no idea why I was better at that than the regular PacMan games, but I liked it more.

Of course, we're taching Harry about skeeball, air hockey and pinbal, thanks to Chuck E. Cheese, these days...

Waah! I liked that ET game!

What's sad is, I'm not even 25 yet and this still made me feel positively ancient. I remember when I saw the first King's Quest game--I thought it was the most advanced thing ever. *sigh*

Thanks for the link to the article Heidi.

And Oh! Me too! I'm just 22 and a half and this article made me feel so old - it's like sheesh - kids these days have many more options!

I remember playing pong on my uncle's Atari pre-Nintendo - and then I remember Donkey Kong and Super Mario Brothers and Tetris - how do you go wrong with tetris? LOL
