  • That kid totally sucked at Pac-Man! He got killed in the first five seconds.

  • I don't think I have ever seen so many whiny overly sentimental people in one place. The most ironic thing is that all the people who are getting all butt-hurt over having technology are using the internet, right now. Hypocritical much? @eugene680 A simpler time? You wanna know a secret? It was probably because you were a kid, everything is simple when you are a kid.

  • Thes "kids of today" are poor techno-addicts, also they represent only a very small (wealthy) part of the world.

  • I was born right in the gap between old and new-- my parents had an Atari (in their post-college years) and I was born in the late 80's. I could use everything from a C64 and Apple // to an iPad. =P I also regularly enjoy rounds of Halo's multiplayer and playing an Atari clone with my family. Still have the old NES and Atari 2600, just need to be not lazy enough to hook them up XD

  • @SeBrazierK9 A good question...

  • Todays generation have no idea how primitive the games we played were.

  • I dont remember how to load a casette tape on C64. I guess you typed LOAD and RUN and something like that, but it was different with the floppy disc's ? Later we had Final Cartridge III I think, with a GUI so it was a little more simple.

  • @spektrum1983

    Load "*",8,1

    Run

  • I was born in the mid to late 90s and I know how to work all of this stuff.

  • we should of stayed there then I wouldn't be watching these kids play with my old toys.

  • is it sad that i grew up in the 1990s and i know how to use the Cassette tape. not that computer thing i might be able to use an atari

  • I'd like to know what's the name of the song starting at 0:51! Someone could tell me please?? Thanks :)

  • @Framar91 use your brain, the only clear lyric u hear is 'weird science' so type 'weird science song' in youtube search or google and voila!

  • @dialtone187 Thank you very much! I'm an 80's music maniac and I was still missing this one! Thanx again

  • I love old games!

  • Imagine un experimento asi, aunque el verdadero reto seria que lograsen tan solo una tarea por completo con aquellos medios y nos dieran su opinion si aprenden mas que solo copy paste de wikipedia; o lograr tener sus mejores temas en cassette disfrutando de un longplay completo sin saltar solo a las canciones favoritas; o terminar un juego de ATARI o NES y comparar no solo graficas sino el concepto que estan aplicados en las siguientes consolas, eso seria un reto interesante de ver ;P

  • if Andrea is a child of the 80's she doesn't suppose either to know how to work a cassette tape...

  • 15 years old , call of duty? typical usa..

  • The kids could use that old cassette recorder machine to copy their commodore 64 games!! I loved my atari woody... it was definitely cutting edge technology when it came out :) I had a pong machine as well with the paddles and I kept that one right up until the 90s. My daughter loved playing pong even though she had her super nintendo and playstation then...

  • im 11 and i know how to use a caset....i might be sexest and say men know how to use 60's stuff in uhh idfk

  • Screw that. Let's see the girl figure out how to use a typewriter. That's what I learnt to type on back in the early 90s (didn't have my own computer then, and I was like 5 years old).

    Changing ribbons, adjusting margins and borders.

    And learning the importance of typing properly. Something that no kid today can do.

  • Pleeeeaaassse i know how to work every peice of technolkgy you younger 80s kids have nothing compared to us 1486 kids

  • 2:19 that's early 1990s...

  • I remember when I used to go to the library and borrow those books that came with cassets. That's how I learned to read.

  • kids from the 90's are kinda in the middle. i kow how to use a tape player, i know how to use an atari,nintendo, sega, and old computers :)

  • "Clicky Clicky on icons n stuff!" 0:53

  • As far as the games go, if you are a true gamer, you can figure any game out out! =D

  • @AspynnsMommy I'm from the 80's.I remember using a caset player,and still have a device that plays both cassets and cds,and we are talking about something from the late 90's,before the device was obsolete.

  • i miss the 80s

  • My first computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99-4A...Born in 72, was a kid in the 70's a teenager in the 80's.....good times... Arcades were in their hayday :) GOD I miss those days but I am very VERY appreciative of modern technology :)

  • Comment removed

  • I gave my 10 year old son my zx spectrum and a load of crash magazines 18 months ago, He now has a half decent understanding of a high level langauge and one proud father. Make it hard for them it's worth it.

  • My French class at uni is mixed with a few mature students, last Thursday they went off on about a half-hour tangent on loving the '80s.

  • :30 give her a walkman instead for christs sake!

  • Oingo Boingo!

    

  • I once "fixed" an Atari 2600 for a friend. I took it apart to check for a fried power supply, got it completely apart, took the motherboard out, and everything. The internals were completely mint. After I got it put back together, I bothered checking what type of output it had. All I had to "fix" was adding a RCA to coax connector. IT seems my friend had been putting it into the RCA input of their TV. After that, it worked perfectly.

    Also, Commodore with an LCD monitor...

  • Top comment, fuck yeah!

  • Why do they give this guy pacman for atari?

    That was the biggest piece of crap ever written (next to ET).

  • I don't know why everyone is calling these kids stupid for not understanding how to use the technology that I grew up with. If you haven't been exposed to it before because you grew up with something different, how could you know about it??? You couldn't! They simply don't know any better...

  • commordor on a flat screen =epic

  • i was born in 1995 and i know how to use a cassette player... smh

  • LOL cant even work a cassette player! Took her that long to figure out there was an eject button. TBH tho first time i used a C64 i knew there was a command for loading tapes but i didn't know it so i had to use the manual.

  • Know who's fault all of this is? The fucking parents who're not teaching their kids how not to be spoiled dipshits.

  • Loved the video. I grew up in the 80's. Kids today have no idea!!!

  • 1:50

    That's what you get for playing too much cod

  • The 80s rocks

  • I wish someone would ambolish all these state of the art technology we have today.

    - Texting, laptops, blackberry, blue tooth, ipods, iphones, facebook, netflix, myspace and any gadgets we have today.

    Times were more simpler back in the 1980's. People would spend time with family and friends and also make an effort to meet face to face.

  • @eugene680 Yeah, because that would make the world a better place.

    Shut the fuck up, you Luddite.

  • You don't think all these state of the art technology is making everyone dumber? People back in the day use to sit on their porch at sunset to dicuss things. Now everyone is too busy hacking away on their iphones. Also people used to rent movies in video stores. Now Netflix destroy it.

  • @eugene680 No, I don't.

    " People back in the day use to sit on their porch at sunset to dicuss things." They still do that. Know what else they do now? The same damn thing, but over a computer, with millions of people from all over the world with millions of competing opinions. I like porch talks, they're fun little circle jerks, but conversing in a vacuum changes nothing.

  • @StickWarrior I do miss the old Mom and Pop stores, but Blockbuster killed that, not Netflix.

    Now, Netflix gives me a pretty good selection, cable plays some stuff, and dowloading/internet streaming picks up the slack.

  • @eugene680 I would say you have some validity to your argument, but really in a lot of families, people always had something to disappear into. My dad has an iPad now. Before that, it was the newspaper crossword. My mom has a laptop and iPad. Before this, she'd have a book. I'd be off in my room doing homework, reading, or watching tv, or on the computer (I'm a 90s kid and a 2000s teenager). Actually, I have to say, his iPad has made dad a lot more interactive. He shares vids etc he finds.

  • @eugene680 but learning was a lot harder in the 1980s.

  • @eugene680 doing coke in a men's stall is not what I'd call meeting face to face.

  • @eugene680 what about youtube 

  • @eugene680 Fuck off. Technology today is great and is helping us in many ways, including (and especially) our socialising. Why the hell would anyone want technology to be inferior like it was before? How about medicine, too? (don't get me started on how technology today helps doctors)

  • I'm only talking about these socialising technology. I'm sick and tired of playing human dodgeball on the streets because these people are walking and texting everywhere. Kids today are texting their friends who are sitting right beside them. Pretty soon, the whole world will be silent and all you'll hear are clicking sounds.

  • @eugene680 Its the way Humankind try to advance.We're human.Thus we want to improve.What if we're still stuck collecting berries or living in mud houses?

  • @eugene680 lol myspace

  • @eugene680 "hurr durr I don't like change"

  • @eugene680 In the 80s, people were probably thinking that about the 60s.

  • @UndefinedVideos0 They say that but I doubt it like the fact is music is shit now, but wasn't back then.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd rather have all of that.

  • These kids make me want to jump off a bridge

  • She doesn't know what a cassete player is? I'm 15 and I know it.

  • Change all you want, technology, but I'll still plug my modern computer into a 1962 Hammond organ and play MIDI instruments through its speakers. That's just how I roll.

  • 0:52 if she knows her way around a laptop, why is she using Internet Explorer? Duhh

  • @SteBrazier2K9 She's also using an Acer

  • I was born in 2000 I know how to use technology from the 60s and higher

  • No offense, but these kids are beyond stupid. Takes 'em that long to figure out a cassette player, never heard of an Atari 2600 or a Commodore? I still have all of these in my house!

  • @OnTheTuub how exactly are they beyond stupid? if you never had something from before your generation shown to you, you would never know about it. your the one who is clearly beyond stupid for not realizing that

  • @42footballrocks I suppose, but the girl who was shown the cassette player, well I really don't know when this was taken and I don't know her age, but cassettes were still used and sold quite a bit from 2005 and before. Of course by then it had mostly died out. I can understand the girl who was trying to figure out the Commodore, as for the Atari, I'm pretty sure that it was released just a little while before the older boy was born. He might have at least heard of it, possibly?

  • @OnTheTuub How do you not know how to shoot with the Atari? It's got one fucking button.

  • @StickWarrior I wasn't talking about me, I'm talking about the kids in this video. I still have an Atari 2600, although it doesn't work very well.

  • @OnTheTuub Oh, no, neither was I.

    I mean the kid in the video.

  • Congrats kids you passed! Even the bloody comentator man couldn't be arsed watching the video.

  • BRAIN DEAD CUNTS.

  • Allllright guys time to leave the modern gaming behind!,

    No talk about a 15 year old playing 2 games rated 17+, untill he goes on a school schooting rampage then they blame the games.

    Way to go Mom!

  • @m0j0NL You're a fucking idiot. there is not conclusive proof that video games cause "rampages"

  • @Darkromani He's not implying there is.

    He's saying that, in case the kid does go insane and shoots his school up, media is quick to say that it's because of CoD and suchlike games.

    Whether it's true or not that the games caused him to shoot the school up is an entirely different conversation.

  • @m0j0NL Yea, Because of all that evidence for that. How many people own a copy of CoD? Low estimate 10 million. How many school shooting rampages has there been? High estimate 20.

  • right ear : hooohoooo horrible music gemme outta here.

    left ear : shut up i wanna listen to the man.

  • i had all 3 things in this time =) . and i still have all 3 things at home =)

  • Snes ending is not Atari (offended 25 year old dinosaur)

  • It took my 8 year old sister all of 30 seconds. To figure out on her own how to use my old tape deck and VCR.

  • i remember hearing from a friend who is close to the same age as me talking about babysitting and she brung over a bunch of vhs tapes the kids looked at them like they were bit legos they had no idea what they were they said they watch the cartoons on the little disks I felt so old but ironically you can still get vhs blanks at target 0_0

  • @Apocal7964 bit legos= big lego's

  • @Apocal7964 Heh, sounds like one of my second cousins who, a few years ago, saw the records I have and asked if they were giant CDs. -_- (She's about twelve years younger than I am.)

  • Did SHE SAID GOSSIP or SEX???

  • Comment removed

  • wow, that kid is tall.

  • born in 1986, I love the '80 music!

  • Calm the fuck down. This is the first time the kids are seeing these devices so no shit they won't know how to use them.

  • haha funny :p

  • Why Does This Generation Suck So Bad!!?  (O-O )

  • LOL, Commodore Plus +4

  • I WAS BORN IN 1997 AND CAN USE ALL THESE BUT THE COMMODORE (i don't own one) IN MY SLEEP! SERIOUSLY, WTF! MY GENERATION SUCKS! WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN THE 80'S! I TALK ABOUT PAC-MAN, THEY SAY IT'S F**KING STUPID AND TALK ABOUT CALL OF DUTY! I TALK ABOUT ZELDA THEY IT'S GAY AND TALK ABOUT BATTLEFIELD 3! IF IT DOESN'T HAVE GUNS, IT MAKES IT STUPID? NO! MY GENERATION IS JUST A BIG, FAT, PILE OF $#!T!

  • @zeldaglitchman, same here

  • @zeldaglitchman The trend of your generation is to keep bitching about your generation

  • The kids are damn stupid. I mean come on everybody know how to use the 80's devices !!!

  • So to show an Atari 2600 game at 2:17 they show the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. which came out on the Super Nintendo, way after the Atari 2600. Makes sense.

  • They didn't exactly choose the geekest people to play with these things. I was born in 93 and I remember quite well using tapes, VHS, NES, Genesis... Too bad the first operating system I really played with was Windows 95... I'm really thinking about buying a Commodore, just for the fun of learning.

  • Ew, the atari version of pacman.

  • So listening to the Jonas Brothers make you dumber?

  • One inaccuracy, in that we never played Pacman on a wide screen LCD TV!

  • the problem with people is that they don't "look" for the solution or see what things do. whenever they see something they don't test things out to see what happens. the kids don't press all the buttons to see what the buttons do, they go "WHAT DOES WHAT I WANT IT TO DO, TELL ME!" 

  • hold on!

    i dont know how to shoot.

    1 button on joystick.

    lol

  • I still have the Pac Man video game.

  • @SniperStorm7 im 2 years younger and I know what you mean. I have a namco thing that NOBODY else is allowed to touch. I was heartbroken when my cassette player stopped working. Pong is cool. my grandpa had a game thing, I think I remember playing it when I was little, but now its broke. T.T

  • .......I was born in 1996 and knew how to run a cassette player, still use one actually

    and you don't know how to shoot? THERE'S ONLY 1 FUCKING BUTTON ON THE DAMN CONTROLLER

  • these kids are st00pid

  • These kids are just mentally retarded

  • @Dextradamusz , ooh, it did not seem like overreacting for me! But anyone can operate technology! Well I think I should go away now and have fun! Good luck!

  • @xXBlackhawk846Xx , not me, wish Facebook closed, here a part of a song: Facebook is a crime where everybody have too much time... this why I do not use Facebook, there is too much bad stuff on Facebook that it is now a bad site.

  • @Gentlyjack1 You're overreacting

  • Lol, they need to learn to operate old technology, I can operate many old and new technology. But not all known technology. I could operate those tech in the video. Radio easy, game easy, computer I do not know, but I can.

  • these kids must be retards or something, well i guess i wouldn't like the computer, but i mean the other ones.

  • Damn wish i grew up in the 80's, sick of all this Facebook bullshit.

  • "I don't know how to shoot"?? There's only one button on the joystick..

  • what gets me mad is kids under 8 with ipads and fucking driods.

    all i had was action figures and my brothers and friend to communicate with

  • I think i just lost a few brain cells. :\

  • She tried to typed a url into the Commodore 64...

    SHE TRIED TO TYPE A URL INTO THE COMMODORE 64...

    :facepalm: & BTW, she's frickin' my age!

  • @POKEMONMASTER260 At least she did not say it sucked

  • @EarthCrash95 yeah, but you know she was thinking it.

  • @kingcrimson234 better than in my school where my classmates say an 80's game sucks and COD rules. It really pisses me off.

  • @POKEMONMASTER260 That's a Commodore Plus/4, not a 64.

  • Seriously? Aside from the Commodore, tech back then wasn't all that hard to figure out.

  • Kids of today are hopless lazy and with no sense of real life faggots.

  • @OGRMaster That's because they are kids...

  • What'd she write? o.o

  • I had a Commodore 64 from parents (back in the days) who bought it in Wien in secret(communist era) for a hell lot of money.After that I had my first PC AT(80286 or something) with 8 Mhz, Hercules monochrome with 10 or 20 Mbytes of ALPS hard drive and 256 Kbytes of ram and later a freakin "TURBO" button XD.Later I walked up the ladder slowly like 80386-486-5x86-6x86, savage3d etc.I saw & I had a lot kind.And of course I spent tons of money to keep it up (but I still cant keep the fast pace :)

  • i still have my atari 2600 and it still works. still cant figure out et after 30 years though. man that game sucked!

  • Atari and Space invaders Still a better love story than twilight

  • Yeah!!!

    

  • I don't get it...so instead of being thankful that our technology is advancing and that we know more about everything now then we did then, we're just gonna nose dive into a fad where things from the 80's is genius and everything now is just poisoning our brains? News flash! People where idiots in the 80's too. And just because they've lived longer then you doesn't make them smarted or even wiser! Did you ever teach them to break down whats in front of them and come up with logical conclusions?!

  • I worry about the younger generation that have never lived in a world without the internet.

  • This made me feel so old!

  • i know how to use all those.

  • awesome...

  • Heh kids these days, I loves those consoles back in the day like the Apple II, Commodore 64, Amiga, the 3DO, The Turbo-Grafx 64, My Sega Genesis (RIP), My Super Nintendo (It's still alive! 21 years! And she's still my favorite all-time, I always play it, for games I don't have, ZSnes!), My Nintendo 64, my original Playstation, my original Game Boy Color, Windows 98 and ME, yes...how lovely the 80s and 90 and very early 00s were... I WANT TO GO REVISIT IT! T-T I don't care if it's dated, it's...

  • How can he not figure out that the fire button is the ONLY button on the controller??

  • I love how, at the top of the Commodore Plus/4's screen, the older daughter had typed "w w w" - she was trying to surf the internet from a Commodore Basic screen. Did she think it had WiFi? :-D Fair enough I guess, all her other devices probably have WiFi built in!

  • lol I'm 42 and my son is 16. These kids are hilarious trying to learn the "old" technology we took for granted. I tried to play one of the Halo games on my son's XBOX (a game which I spent something like $50 on, maybe even more than that!!!) and he could not stop laughing because I could not properly control my men with that controller with something like 20 buttons. He was literally running circles around me. Give me the old Atari or Nintendo any day of the week.

  • @micmac99 Wargle Wargle Wargle... Back in mah day we didnt have these fancy smancy videogames and I-Poodz. No... we had to bang rocks together and we were never taught to shut the fuck up about the differences between the past and present and to just get a life.

  • i would hate to live in the 80's but i think the 90's is pretty good

  • @0do0m The 80's were great. Kids played outside, got dirty, ran around and weren't so damn fat.

  • @UpcomingJedi Yeah but what is wierd, is when kids these days are 40, they will have vids like this showing kids of their own in 40 years how to play cod n such lol.

  • Thumbs up if you played SEGA TOO! :D

  • I grew up in the 80s and 90s, but there is no way in hell I would want to go back to either of those times. I like being an adult in my 30s and I'm having plenty of fun right now, and I would miss the technology of the 2010s. But these kids seem like a bunch of retards. My nephews and nieces, ages 7-14 all know how to play the old Atari and Nintendo games. Retro games were a rage a few years ago and at super cheapo prices at Wal-Mart. They know all about Pac-Man, Space Invaders, etc.

  • @gothatway09 You are a true gamer

  • load"*", 8,1

    This is why people cant use computers anymore. They just click on the pretty icons......

  • i bet that the 17 yer old dont know what a hdd is

    rof

  • 46 people dont know what a cassette is

  • DAMN ARE THESE KIDS DUMB !?! Im 14 I dont have Wireless internet, xbox or ps3. i LOVE my cassette player sega genesis ps2 game cube and television from 1989. These kids sound like they have never heard of these things

  • @bartsimpson67543 Huh? PS2 and Gamecube are not from the 80s. They are from the 2000s.

  • @Patrick19833 Im aware im not stupid point is they are out dated

  • @bartsimpson67543 They are not that outdated when you compare it to the Atari 2600. I'm sure a lot of 14 year olds know what those systems are.

  • NO OFFENCE THE KID WITH THE CASSETTE PLAYER WAS HALARIOUS

  • It's one thing to not understand how to use older tech, it's another thing to not have common sense.

  • Comment removed

  • i had a commodore 64 fun computer i tell ya i also have 2 atari 2600s with bout 20 games i was born in 86 80s technology is awesome

  • That's hardly fair. No one knew what a Plus/4 was supposed to do even when it was new.

  • this didn't prove anything. everyone reacts the same to a new product.

  • GOD MADE ME BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE!

    

  • What the fuck, this has got to be fake right, these idiots not knowing how to use the retro consoles, I was only 6 when I got my first Vic20 and no one showed me how to use it, I did it myself the same with Ami
