Nothing like it at all. Fact is, around me, home computers in the 80's were rare, and home computers typically had 14400 baud modems in the earily 90's (though I think 36s were coming out about that time. I'm a bit fuzzy on that.)Point I'm making is that today's youth has a much more powerful/speedy connection to other players via the internet than any time previously. Heck, you can play online with your PS2 and Xbox (I think, not up on all the consoles). Todays games are beeeeautiful compared to what was available in the timeframe you specified and computers are much, much cheaper (in comparative spending dollars) now than then, also.If the point you're making is just the existance of video games and rpgs at the same time, cool. Point taken. But there's a whole lot more variables that need to be taken into account than just co-existance.</blockquote>
