    so, im like watching these dudes play some new castlevania game, its pretty cool...no whip, but its pretty cool

    then, like they fight this guy, and one of the guys in the dayroom shouts," OMG! ITS TREVOUR!"

    and im like...uh, whose that?

    and some other dude, says, dont you play castlevania? Trevour is from the first one.

    I was a little confused, so i asked what happened to Simon

    they looked at me, and asked who that was....so i just walked away.


    I recall anouther time when i was at a party, and we were all playing mario 1, and this guy was like "Yo!, what system is this? Yo! wtf just came out of his nose"

    everyone was stunned...we asked if he ever even heard of the "B" button

    he sayed he never new what nintendo was...and apparently, he never new anything about video game basics either


    sadly, i have much hatred for the new generation, because they dont know the classic history of video games :cry:

          I love oldschool, and I can honestly say that I'm not a total expert of olskool gaming, but i can relate!!!

          By the way, if ya don't mind me asking, where was this taken place?
          cuz it sounds like some 12 year old kids playing games at the mall or something...

            Hold on now. I'm 16 and I can recognize just about everything you dish out. Well, mostly (you guys remember some pretty obscure stuff). :P

            The guy who said "OMGZ IT CAME OUT HIS NOSE" obviously has been living under an X-box for a good long while, otherwise he should at LEAST recognize Super Mario Brothers, and if not that, the Nintendo brand name. Ridiculous.

              A better question is "What system was 'Zelda II' made for?" An awful lot of people will answer "N64", thinking of Majora's Mask.

                        Correct me if I'm wrong but Trevor was the hero in the 3rd Castlevania game, right? :? The one with Grant Danasty, Sypha Belnades and Alucard (not sure if I got their names right).

                          That's right. Simon was in 1-2. Then Trevor was in 3.

                            Castlevania III is still pretty oldschool, but if the kid had actually played it, he'd know it was Castlevania III, not the "original". I'm guessing he saw Trevor's 8-bit sprite in Symphony of the Night, and assumed he must've been from the first game.

                              yeah, im 16 and i know exactly what you mean. I play my NES almost everyday. people really do not even know what the first mario games were called... i'm suprised a lot of them dont know the classics as you said. it's very sad. At least i still have an apreciation for the classics.
                              I now hold the world records for Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2! :)

                                  yeah, but personally i think the NES is much cooler... better graphics that you can make out the characters at least. the atari is still pretty cool, i mean i enjoy it a lot.

                                      I'm 25 and I have a Coleco Tel-Star. It has no cartridge slot and plays only built-in Pong clones. I think that trumps the 2600 ;)

                                        Only by a year. Tel-Star was introduced in 1976, Atari 2600 in 1977.
