The fact that The Matrix is 11 years old, and the N64 14, have similar effects. I wonder if part of it has to do with that the older you get, the more of your life you remember. When I was 5 (which I don't remember), I probably couldn't remember what it was like to be younger than 4 - in other words, I could only remember 20% of my life. When I was 10, I could probably remember about half my life. Now that I'm 23, my earliest memories are around age 7: I remember more than two thirds of my life. But I think that, while growing up, I sort of got used to most of my life being unremembered - so when I'm faced with how much of it I now remember, I somehow feel uncomfortably far from my memory horizon. Thinking about the fact that I've lived more than half my life since the release of the N64, which I remember reasonably well, is disorienting.
