I’d like to see the kids of today play ‘Jupiter Lander’. Then they’d turn to me and say, “Seriously, you can’t have ever been that bored.”

“a lot of the plot is told through collectibles”

Right? When I was four, maybe five my dad (a pipefitter) lectured me about never hitting a girl or even touching one without her permission. Even at that age my reaction was, "Well, yeah. Of course."
