I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the first-generation of gamers, and I still use my PC and each of the three current-gen consoles regularly -- and not for "casual" games. Bring on the hard-core FPS and 3PS! I want to shoot something!
So, I give a big PHUCK YOU!!! to anyone who thinks that video games are for kids! As far as I'm concerned, they haven't been for kids for over 20 years.
GAME ON!

I really am fed up with the attitude by Destructoid's writers that the 8-bit generation of games started with and is restricted to the NES and similar consoles. The 8-bit generation started long before that.
So, here is a real 8-bit Christmas greeting. Yes, it was really meant as an advertisement (perhaps the first real viral video for computers?) as you'll see at the very end, but you don't get more 8-bit than this. To those who remember this from the 80s, enjoy the nostalgia -- and chuckle at the last segment.

And consider that the music/animation in that video is from 1982, three years before the NES was released outside of Japan.
Ever play the C64 version of Super Mario Bros? You should, because it has foxes.
Okay, fair enough. "I really am fed up with the attitude by most of Destructoid's writers..." ;)
Can't say that I ever played SMB on the C64, but there were so many other awesome games. I'm still pissed that Europe gets the C64 through Virtual Console, but we don't. Grrrrrr....
