I remember when I was young, Virtual Boy was suppose to be the future of gaming, until it made half its user base go blind or cause eye problems.
I also remember, back in the good ole days, when it was ok for kids to go outside with a stick, a tree, and some cardboard boxes, and he/she would be entertained for the week.
In that same time period, girls liked dolls, boys like G.I.Joe, babies loved Barney, adults hated the sex talk, and kids got their *** tore up.
Cartoons back then were violent, but we all knew it wasn't possible to smash someone in the face with a mallet and expect them to live, or swallow an entire pool of water and spit it out someplace else.
