Grim, I like your article on "The Old Ones of Gaming" but I thought of an additional comparison that might also be appropriate to the subject. Is comparing today's Internet gaming to old PBM games something like comparing today's advanced 3D 1st-person shooters to the heady days of the original 8-bit console games? If so, then maybe that 8-bit world still echos with us in the form of Minecraft, showing us how the "old ways" can still be popular while still surrounded by the pervasiveness of high-end graphics and sound.
