Post proof that you're passing retro on to the kids!

[jinx]

I wonder if retro-gaming kids feel like their parents are putting them on the cheap stuff, making them angry and embarrassed in front of their friends or do they see it as a privilege . I guess we all know the feeling of owning the old toy or the cheap mimics.

I don't think so... Things don't really seem to be the same as when I grew up and "hand-me-downs" aren't as big of an issue. I can't say for my daughter since she's only 2, but my little brothers all wanted older GameBoys and Pokemon games to bring to school so they could brag about it. In-fact, I'm seeing more and more "retro" stuff at places like Wal-mart and Target for kids. It seems to be the current trend to like older stuff that your parents or older siblings were in to.
(My brothers range from 5 to 16 and they all like Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc)

Even when I was growing up, I treasured things my dad grew up with, but maybe it's just because I didn't know him that well.

I noticed this with my niece . She watches old cartoons and was into The Mask and Jim Carrey. Then again, I too saw Snow White and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory which were released a decade or more before I was born.

It would be exciting to see why kids today prefer older material. I didn't expect The Power Rangers to be part it, it looks too cheesy for today.

Power rangers looked cheesy even in the 90's

when you are 11 you do not notice it

When I was younger and watched it in the late 90's it still seemed a little cheesy with the no mouths moving, and everything >_>

I was ten when Power Rangers premiered ... I thought it was ridiculously bad and cheesy.

hmm... I never heard from kids complaining about shows being cheesy, any show I thought they don't notice it. I didn't...

There was one time RoboCop made an appearance on a wrestling show. I know its as cheesy as gets now, but if I was a 9 year old back then I think it would have blew mind of its awesomeness .
