    i know it's silly but reading younger people talk dismissively about pac-man with no understanding of just how huge it was as a cultural phenomenon in the early 1980s makes me experience FEELINGS

        It’s one of the earliest games I have concrete memories of playing as a < 6 yo. My mom would do traveling craft fairs, which often had arcade tents. I had to carry around a milk carton to stand on once it was my turn to play.

        I had similar feelings about "youths" dismissing Titanic both as great - if flawed - cinema and also as a cultural phenomenon. I mean, it might be nostalgia or bad memory, but at the time it felt like Avengers: Endgame, but with no social media nor a 10-year-long franchise.

        Ever see that doc "How Video Games Changed The World" by Charlie Brooker? It's really great and attempts to treat video games as a serious area of study, while being silly of course. P. sure it can be found on YT (Warning tho Gli""er shows up for a few short minutes)

        Yep. There are a few games that do this to me, when our... juniors pay them no respect. Pac-Man is a big one, Space Invaders too, for what those did for arcades and gaming visibility in general. Tetris, too - a 10/10 puzzler that younger players will dismiss on looks.

        And beyond cultural impact, and what it did for Namco, for Midway, for games as cartoons, lunch boxes, toys and, um, records... Pac-Man is a genuinely brilliant game, anyway. Even now. A genuine evergreen where technology hasn't hamstrung its raw appeal.

        There's a lot of ahistoricism surrounding art these days :/

        It’s part of a problem I worry about, that we don’t have a terribly good preservation of video games and their history

        I'm not even from that era and I get the same vibes when people call Pong "boring." Like, it's literally the first game! Get off my lawn!

        History became legend Legend became myth And things that should not have been forgotten were lost.

        To be fair, there hasn't been anything of substance created in the last 20 years. So naturally young people aren't going to care about some yellow ball man that definitely blew my mind!

        I’m not saying they have to like the game or want to play it. I’m talking more about a kind of “lmao why would anyone ever be into this?” superiority or just a factually incorrect belittling delivered with confidence. Similar to when people watch old movies just to laugh at them.
