Kids Play: Kids Ages 9-12 play games from 70s-80s...results?

Over at Electronic Gaming Monthly the crew did a study on how 9 gamers of today's era, ranging from the ages of 9 to 12, perceived a variety of games that were released between the late '70s to the mid '80's.

Some of the games the young gamers were exposed to were pong, Donky Kong, Tetris, and Super Mario brothers.

"...But was the age of Pong, Atari, Mattel handheld football, and Donkey Kong really all that great, or are we just blinded by fuzzy, warm nostalgia?

That's the question we asked?and answered?back in the November issue of EGM, in which we rounded up nine children of the PlayStation generation?ages 9 to 12?and forced them to play a variety of titles from the late'70s to the mid-'80s. Now read what the little scamps had to say, plus check their comments on a bonus game?Super Mario Bros.?that got cut from the EGM article. If you grew up with these classics, prepare to feel very old.
