Wii!

I couldn't be more impressed. For the first time in about 25 years (I think the last time was H.E.R.O. for the Atari 2600) my mum has sat down (well stood up too) and played a computer game - Wii golf, bowling and tennis. While I remained victorious, it wasn't by much (especially golf). It reminded me of a description of the arrival of Pong by Nolan Bushnell where women would hustle men (induce to gamble over the outcome of a game) in bars.

Reliving Old Times

SketchFighter 4000. If you're anything like me, and I assume you are, you will have done something like this. Or played one of the games inspired by thrust such as Oids.

Via, An open letter to Ambrosia Software: Please bring Sketch Fighter to the DS.
