As a Gen Xer myself, I enjoyed climbing trees, roasting marshmallows, playing chess, camping in the woods, and building tree forts from scrap and sticks as a kid, despite the fact (as I am led to understand) that these are not bleeding-edge activities. I also enjoyed pong, despite being created before I was even born, as shocking as that may be to the author! Pong is enjoyable today for the same reason that IRL table tennis is still enjoyable today, and the reason isn't the graphical fidelity of the paddles and ball (in either case).
