I swear kids today are so freakin’ lucky. When I was a young Pudd back in the day, growing up in the earliest of the early 80′s we had an Atari. I began gaming at the tender age of 5 thanks to my parents finding this new gaming “fad”, and I was hooked.

Incredibly effective classic gaming ad

Here we are some 30 years after the birth of console gaming and along the way we picked up PC gaming, 3D polygons, arcade quality graphics at home, surround sound gaming, high capacity storage disc and online game distribution. I won’t go on about the details of gaming’s history since there are a number of resources dedicated to the topic, but I can say I never thought the industry would get to a point where it’s on par with Hollywood for our entertainment dollars.
