It’s been observed that each generation thinks it invented sex. Likewise, each generation thinks its video games are classics. Sometimes, you just have to smack these kids upside the head.
Kids today, they just have no sense of history. I was in Woods Hole recently, and came across a 20-something wearing a T-shirt with this picture you see above.
It shows a Nintendo Entertainment System with the words “Classically Trained”. This whelp was trying to build geek cred by bragging about a gaming system that was released in 1983! I wasn’t about to let that slide. I told him “Dude, you’re not classically trained if it’s not an Atari 2600.”
(Please don’t bother complaining to me that there were systems before the 2600. I know. I had to choose something the kid might recognize.)
