"Donkey Kong is "lame." Tetris is "boring." Space Invaders "needs a superbomb or something." And why play Pong when it's more fun to "jump up and down on one foot"? Hey, save your irate letters--we didn't say this stuff. The nostalgia-nuking commentary is from our original Child's Play story in EGM's November 2003 issue, in which we had kids of the PlayStation generation playtest classic games from the '70s and '80s. Mortified gaming grown-ups wrote in to call it blasphemy--and call these outspoken scamps a name that rhymes with "brittle truckers."
It was our most popular article ever. So we're doing it again, with a new batch of brittle truckers and a new bucket of classic games."

some random comments:
Bobby: Why do all the girls think that Link is a hunk?
EGM: [Asking the girls] Do they?
Dillon: I think just you think that.
EGM: So girls don't think Link's a hunk?
Rachel: No.
Dillon: Gosh no.
Rachel: I like actual humans better than videogame characters.
while playing Star Wars
EGM: Isn't that satisfying to destroy the Death Star?
Bobby: Oh, wow-there was a little explosion.
EGM: Are you ready to do it all over again?
Parker: You have to do it again?
Garret: That's what I'm doing right now? Don't you see the Death Star in the background?
Bobby: After you beat the death star level, there should be a snow level, then a small speederbike level. They should make a Matrix game in the theme of Star Wars. So then you take out your sword and run up to a guy and go, "Chiiing!" And after you saw though his head, you fly inside your X-wing.
hehe it's pretty funny what some of these kids think about old school video games ..it's also astounding how little attention span they have ..also I think some of their parents need a kick in the balls ...I mean what's with all the yuppie/preppy names?
Dillon, Garret and Parker?
where's Chastity, Apple and Scout? it's like a freakin soap opera
what ever happened to manly names like Lance and Francis?
