the last few lines were pretty funny

EGM: Yeah, we use them to end our articles. They do kinda look like they're from Space Invaders, don't they?

Tim: They're going to sue you.

Kirk: I'm sure everyone who made this game is dead by now.

Damn nostalgica filter ON!
Guess it's just us that grew up with playing those old games like Pacman. I can kind of see where they are coming from, those games are primitive to them. I never liked the Beatles maybe because I thought thier music was "primitive" compared to 80's music.

I don't know how anyone can't like Tetris. It's mindless AND mindfilling, at the same time!

I've already discussed this article in another board. We came to the conclusion that the guys took all the effort and money to get all those old consoles together, gathered these kids to play on them and they must have been incredibly bored and had nothing intelligent to say. Disappointed, the authors fabricated the entire interview to make it look witty.

C'mon, 12-year olds aren't this clever and sarcastic.

I liked superbreakout more, specially the setting where the bricks were constantly shifting colors as they moved downwards.

I thought that article was pretty funny. It doesn't get to me. I can whip thier ass in any next gen game and they wouldn't even be able to touch me in the classics. Yeah Baby.
