but then the industry crashed in '83 and video games weren't popular again until the resurgence a few years later.

We never slowed down on gaming during that period. They were putting out more than we could consume. From the late 70's forward, gaming never lost steam with its audience.

I'm not saying you didn't play lots of games back then. I'm just saying that gaming wasn't popular at that time. And an industry crash is pretty good evidence of the lack of popularity. But all of this arguing over when games became popular is a moot point.

To reiterate my post, I have to interpret what 'popular' means to correctly answer the poll. I don't regularly play games that are older than me but I do play older games. If I equate classic games to games older than me and popular games as games younger than me, exactly as the poll equates them, I can use the last response to accurately answer it.
