God! I remember when Asteroids was really cutting edge. We played that for hours . . . .

I have heard that the video/computer gaming industry is likely to surpass the motion picture industry soon in terms of revenues and profits.

I believe it.
My Xbox360 even has HD widescreen movie rentals I can download. I can watch streaming movies via Netflix with it too.

The last video game I played WAS Asteroid. I'm not much of a game player. I guess that these game consoles really are just limited-function computers, aren't they?

In some cases it already has... "....through the sales of major systems and games such as, Grand Theft Auto IV, which took in over USD$500 million in sales during its opening week.[4] The game's income was more than the opening weekend of Spider-Man 3 and the original title holder for a video game Halo 3." In at least one respect though we've gone backwards...... When I first started buying PC games they would come in a beautiful 1 foot box and you would get a very detailed manual that was as thick as a brick, even if the game was relatively simple (For example Civilization 2) Today you get a little plastic box with a one page pamphlet that explains the controls and that's it....

I guess they wanted to create a whole new industry for the game manual writers . . .

IMHO, most of the new stuff lacks substance. The 8 and 16 bit era were the best for me. Limited in some ways graphically, but enough horsepower to carry across some powerful experiences. Stories and strategy do it for me.

I feel like a geezer when I talk to my kids. Half the time I don't even know what they're talking about.

The computing engine inside a PS3 is much much faster than your average PC, but it really is still just a computer.
