If/When I have grandchildren, I can't wait for them to ask me "Grandpa, what is that game?" when I'm sitting there playing DOOM. Oh the falling out of my chair and grasping for air that I'm going to experience, coupled with a possible heart attack or stroke... or both...
I love these two statements, they are the essence of trying to pass along how gaming was and where it has evolved, and there is nothing like seeing a child sit in front of an old Pong or Telstar system and actually getting excited and enjoying themselves, especially if they are really adept at the modern systems.
