  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Ars Technica confronted children with 1980s technology

submitted by SFOGuy

5 years 11 months 4 weeks ago

"I think this one needs water"
"I actually think this is better than CVS"

"Ow, awful sound"

"I would give this from 1 to 10, a 10"

"Why is it flashing?" "Why would anyone want to make this? It was really good back then"
"It's just so flat; I don't know how you're supposed to enjoy this..."

"I have better things to do with my time, like play outside..."

How those games, toys & gadgets of the 70's-90's genuinely made us happy THEN & even NOW after all these years. Kids today that are all-in on the social-media train end up addicted but SAD. That's just not on the same level of fun as those old stuff.

Moving this video to SFOGuy's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Do TRS-80 games next and watch these kids boggle in amazement that anyone found those games fun.

"Temple of Apshai" was effing AMAZING for its time, not to mention the fantastic depths of writing characterized by the Infocom games.
