Young kids, old games... Hilarity ensues

[GetGamer News]

What do you get when you combine old games with the kids of today? Comedy gold, that’s what.

Sitting current kids down in front of Atari’s “Adventure” from 1978 practically qualifies as child abuse I think. Reading how stunned the kids are to find out that in Galaga, when you lost all your lives… You had to start again. Priceless. Games have become easier, that’s a fact. Just go and emulate the 8-bit system of your choice and realise
that we’re a bunch of wusses now…

Yup. When you lose all your lives, you have to start over. You don't keep going.

Parker: And you guys back then were OK with this?

Lol! He's actually shocked that you have to start again. Games are most definetly easier now. I've played Galaga in an arcade and its so tough. Level 12 is my record. :/

Heh, they also played Gunstar Heroes. That is one of my favourite games ever but this worries me slightly...

Anthony: And because football players are tyring to kill you.

Garret: They are football players

There are football players in it... right. I don't remember that bit.

Yeah.... neither do I. Unless the football players were the ones with the helmets on firing laser beams at you. Obviously enemies on the Mega Drive wern't robots and evil people, they were football players, stopping at nothing to take over the world.

I played the game last night and saw robots, crazy people on jetpacks, a giant smiley face trying to kill me and some weird plant thing but no football players... maybe its an edited version? :P
