So indifferent that you find "depressing" that your nephew is into it and this causes it to be impossible to connect with them over the hobby?
What's your point?

well I mean you can't... but teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves... It's like... they're gonna make their own choices when away from home... and I'm sure they play minecraft and fortnite and who knows what else when at friends houses (which really isnt very often) and It's not like I'm against them playing the new hotness... I just want them to understand where games came from and have a deeper reverence and respect for games than just playing angry birds would get you.Don't your kids have friends? How do you keep them away from what's currently popular with kids their age?
Lol.I didn't want to play my dad's Atari games when I had a PlayStation.
Funny enough, I hooked up some of my old consoles to our main TV to show my kids what games were like when I was their age.
Mega Man absolutely obliterated us. I remember beating it way back in the day, and now I'm playing it wondering how the fuck I did that.
Your post comes less of "Kids this day don't appreciate quality gaming" and more "Fucking kids have stupid tastes, let me yell at this cloud", i think it's funny how hyperbolic your reaction to your kid getting hooked on Fortnite is.
I just said it was depressing, not sure how that counts as hyperbole and cloud-yelling, but you do you
It's just a game, hahahhaaha, how is calling it "depressing" not hyperbole? wow.
They said that they gave up trying to connect via video games. Which makes some sense if the only thing they play is Fortnite and that poster isn't interested in it at all. And if it's a hobby you're really into, I imagine it could be a bummer. Maybe 'depressed' is a slight bit of hyperbole just to get their point across but I don't get why you're harassing this dude over a minor bit of word choice. Geeze, man.Says the "My nephew is into fortnite, im depressed, we'll never be able to connect!" poster.

but I think it will be fun to see how he takes to a game like super metroid or final fantasy.
Cheers for the info! My wife still has a silver one she batters Spyro on.It initially had a front light which wasn't that great. It got a revision (AGS-101) after the DS came out that had a proper backlight.
The one thing I noticed with the youngest gaming generation (that started with PS2 and on) is that they have a harder time do8ng two buttons at the same time using their thumb...
If you plugged an old console directly to a modern TV you probably experienced a shitload of lag.

Which is funny because at the time it seemed so hand holding compared to previous games in the genre.It's aged tremendously, but with its lack of hand holding and any sort of guidance, I could see a lot of kids/teens bouncing off of it.
