Want to feel really old? Read this article from Electronic Gaming Monthly in which they make a bunch of 10-13 year-olds play classic videogames from the late '70s to early '80s. Here's a few highlights:

Sheldon: Hey, why does it say Sears on the controller?
EGM: Sears sold it for Atari.
Andrew: Isn't Sears, like, a clothing company?

Tim: It's strange that fire moves in this and has eyes. Oh no, the fire's coming. It's going to eat you. Are these barrels alive, too? Everything's alive. And Donkey Kong's mouth is made of pluses. Look: Plus, plus, plus, minus. They're trying to teach you math by brainwashing you.
