I feel like there's a core mashup of mechanics that could very well stand the test of time — that kids have been playing with toys forever, and kids have been
interested in video games forever, and that we had found this very powerful way to bring them both together.
Still, as I'm playing and writing about
video games for a living (or some sort of facsimile) today, I remain
forever grateful that she was so
interested in getting me
interested.
