So I was being shown a demo of Bandai's Lupin the 3rd at E3, and I mentioned to the demoer that I was very fond of Cliff Hanger, the '80s laserdisc game that used Lupin the 3rd footage. He hadn't the slightest idea what the hell I was talking about; in fact, he didn't even know what laserdiscs were.

Later the same day, I was being shown a demo of Starsky & Hutch, and the PR flak asked me and a couple other journalists if we knew what it was based on. I thought this was a ridiculous question, until the 22-year-old in front of me admitted that he hadn't the slightest idea who Starsky & Hutch were.

I am officially an old goat.
