I'd suspect that might be related to when you grew up. I'm a child of the late 80's, and nothing will ever beat the experiences of Zaxxon, Manic Miner, Paradro

I'd suspect that might be related to when you grew up. I'm a child of the late 80's, and nothing will ever beat the experiences of Zaxxon, Manic Miner, Paradroid, etc. I do know gamers who were teens in the late 70s, and it's all about River Raid, Pole Position, Frogger. My guess is that, just like music, what you experience as a teen shapes you.
