| What does your younger generations think about your cabinet and the older games? |

Don't worry, us geezers aren't that easily offended ;D. I guess it also has to do with what you feel with certain games. For instance, the Star Wars cockpit has a very special significance for me, as do Popeye and Galaga. They are connected to memories. When I play those I recall those memories. The older the memory, the stronger the feeling (Alzheimer setting in already?). I guess it is because you forget bad feelings much faster then good feelings so in the end only good feelings remain (isn't that heaven?). Anyway, I still remember entering the underground dwarven city in WOW which was pretty awesome as well. And clearing those aliens in Resistance, Fall of Man simply rocked! Geometry Wars hasn't left my NDS for quite some time now. There's hope for me yet, I guess. |

We have a snow day here (well 2 of the kids did and I kept the 3rd home anyway) and, while I toil away browse BYOAC here in the kitchen, I hear the sweet sounds of Galaga, PacMan and others coming from the basement where all 3 kids are quiet (except for the occasional "*I* want to win"). :cheers: |

I'm glad that I am in good company here on these forums... I'm 32 and grew up with games. First console was an Atari 2600 and everything just snowballed from there. While I love console games and would never give up my 360's, Wii, or anything else Arcades still have a special place in my heart. Growing up we had one of the coolest arcades called the Gold Mine @ Six Flags Mall in Texas. Just playing some of these games brings back the memories of playing in that dark, cold arcade. Sometimes while playing out in the garage I turn off the lights and run the Arcade Ambiance Soundtrack on the CD player and just play all kinds of old games. Almost feels like I am back in that old arcade... |

Kids are switching between the games room and the Wii ... I fear this is not going to be a terribly productive day for me. * CheffoJeffo learned to drive in Montreal and Chicago and doesn't fear Toronto "storms" -- he fears Toronto "drivers" in said "storms" ;) |
