Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff. Actually now that I think about it my grandma was mean at Burger Time back in the day.

Duh, fun is only for children. Adults must be productive to produce profit.

Sorry, but that wasn't a complete sentence, so I'm going to have to deduct you 10 Adult Points. You are now legally a minor until you can pay the fine of not more than fifty million US dollars.

I'm not allowed to travel to the US without being accompanied by an adult, fortunately. Wait, damnit!
