Video Games: We've Come a Long Way Baby...

What you're looking at is a game I used to play on the first game console system I ever owned, the Intellivision. It may not have been fancy, but this AD&D game used to scare the crap out of me as a 5-year-old. If you watched the whole video through, you'll notice that it only takes the player 5 1/2 minutes to complete the entire game.

It is truly amazing to me to see how far games have come. Current games such as Halo 3 and World of Warcraft were simply beyond imagination back then. Intellivision games are relegated to the nostalgic musings of old-timers like myself, and the subject of great mockery for the latest generations of gamers.
