My parents had one of those colecovision machines and I used to play that purple plane game (in the video) on it as well as Omega Race.
Despite being massively inferior in terms of graphics I actually think those games were as enjoyable in terms of gameplay as the COD games and others we see nowadays.
Sadly that's what mainstream media still thinks of when they hear the word "videogames". Either that or this-
Apparently they still haven't realized that to varying degrees videogames, like any other part of today's pop culture, are merely products of real-world influences. If they really want to open that can of worms maybe then maybe that's where their discussion should really start.
Never will though because in this day and age, even a kid raised by social services should know it's easier to just blame the effect rather than the cause.
