I wonder what he'd think if you told him that 8 years later a turn based strategy game would be a strong contender for game of the year? Yes XCOM is trading in large part on nostalgia, but I know plenty of people who never played it the first time round picking it up and enjoying it. Not to mention the slew of TBS games on iOS (and I'm guessing Android) where the stop start nature of the play ties in well to how and where we use those devices.
