Even if you only consider home console gaming, that goes back to the early-to-mid 1970s. Classifying anything more than 20 years old (i.e. before 1998) effectively makes more than half of home video gaming history "ancient." True. But that is much longer and much less documented. Still, your point is valid. I guess I should restate my objection. The actual word used is less of an issue than the fact that everything before 1998 is lumped together. There is quite a difference between games made in the mid 90s, early 90s, and mid-to-late 80s, let alone earlier eras. I would say the differences between these arguably are at least as meaningful if not more so than differences within the more recent years. --- "History is the road map and without it there is no way to navigate the future." - George Wunderlich ...
