Kids view on Classic Games

This is just too good not to share. Folks who read Slashdot have probably already seen this, but there's a series of articles on 1up about a couple kids being sat down in front of some of our old cherished and beloved games and saying what they think of them. Some of my favorite quotes:

When playing the color vector 'Star Wars' game:


Rachel: This looks like a game out of Willy Wonka or something.
Bobby: It's like, "I'm Willy Wonka. I've created a new Star Wars."

When playing the old Atari 'Adventure' game:


Bobby: Stupid duck. I hate the duck. The duck is evil.
Parker: Go left, go left. Grab the arrow. That's the only way you can kill the duck. You have to run that into the duck!

Talking about 'Defender':


EGM: Before this came out in compilations, we used to put quarters in arcade machines.
Parker: You wasted quarters on this?
EGM: Yeah.
Parker: That's so sad.

I don't feel too bad. I've already gotten Zach addicted to things like Pacman, Loderunner, and Tetris 8)
