I used to teach secondary school in the UK a few years ago before I changed profession and the school allowed me to run an after school 'Video Games History' class. I ran it for mostly year 7 and 8 students, however when the week came round to try some of these games, the youngest members of the class were infatuated by playing Frogger and asteroids on my Atari 2600. I remember a few of them stating that they preferred it to their Xbox's and Playstations. No wonder Atari games are so accessible to the 'tap and swipe' generation, they are easy to pick up and play without understanding complex buttons or gameplay mechanics. Its a great teaching aid and also allows young people to get inspired to create their own rudimentary games.
