Even I feel old. Their parents would be so lucky to have mario bros. when they where kids. 
I would've liked to seen a reaction to some older PC games like MULE, Lode Runner, or Tank Wars.

I had the Atari 5200 Mario Brothers; no super at all. One of the best games ever. My family use to have 'Mario Commando' fight fests every weekend. It is the only true smash brothers. I may have to pull that back out this weekend...

This is especially funny when you consider the fact that for the last 3 months I've been tinkering with xgalaga which is/was essentially space invaders.
And I agree with Pekka.XD

Instead of Mr Fist, give them the option to play Painstation instead of Pong

My future brother-in-law is one of the editors of EGM. A couple weeks ago he was visiting from San Francisco, and I told him that this was one of the funniest, scariest things I had ever read. He said it made him feel very, very, very old.

Kids these days.. they put too much value on the outlook of the game, graphics etc.. way less too value on the whole design, the idea of the game etc.... and that's why games will continue to suck as they come new and hot from the factories!

How would the world look like if all graphics card makers stopped researching more advanced graphics? Would there be more working on gameplay again, as in the good ol' days?

C'mmon; don't over do it. It's not like Donkey kong had good gameplay.
Do you like the games your grandparents had to play. Let's face it, running after an empty wheel, pushing it forward with a stick...hmmm, doubt it.
Besides every generation thinks the same thing and the hprase "kids of today ", is probably being said since man starting walking the earth.

I've been wondering that exact thing myself for years now. Especially after GTAII - the top-down 2D old school version, before they added all the celebrity voices and streaming architecture. I really liked GTA3 and VC, but I can't remember the last game I played that I really HAD to finish because I wanted to, not because I had nothing else to do. Although Super Mario Bros. does come to mind. I'm old. I have plenty of time to read things I find on the ground.
