Nice, thanks Atari 5200.

Wow, I remember I used to have this issue of Time and remember that article.

An awesome scan to an awesome find. An interesting little retro-read!

It is interesting however that a lot of the concerns back then are exactly the same now. We are still asking if games are corrupting our kids and we are still pondering over the rise of video games as a mainstream "Hollywood-esque" business. We can see that a good amount has stayed the same, I guess an equally interesting question to ask is, aside from the obvious technological leap, what has changed?

Way to be 'current', Time. That could have been written 10 years earlier... :roll:

Hey, it's Time. Not *On* Time.

I think it's amusing how there was such a big deal made of MK when compared to the games today. It will never end.
