Reminded me of something happened last year. A friend was visiting and brought along his nephew. The kid (9 years old) noticed an office PC (used as a media center) connected to my TV. The following conversation ensued:
- A PC! Are there any games in there?
- There are, but only old stuff, from before you were born.
- I have a PS5.
- Not like that, those games are much older than that. Quite different too.
- ...is there Sonic?
- Well, yes, I have some of Sonic's first games.
- Can I try it?
- Sure, little buddy. Why not?

I turned the PC on and booted the original Sonic the Hedgehog for him. He barely beat Green Hill Zone (after two game overs), and finally gave up on Marble Zone.
- The game makes you go back!!!
- Um, yeah. They were shorter games, but you eventually learned your way and finished them.
- ...are there other games?
- Well, lots of them, but they will all require you to properly learn them.
- It's okay... I don't want to play anymore.

After that, I turned off the PC and the kid hurled himself up with his cell phone. Kids used to have more tenacity. Time has changed, I don't know how they see games today.';

Yeah, I was born in the early 80s and I'm sure if I tried to stage such a photo I would make several mistakes, it's easy to forget "Oh wait, this didn't exist until after the 90s" when it's been 30 years.
