If Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

It's different today. Kids don't have self control.
Parenting is suffering and the games have gotten more involved. My husband and I have two game systems, plus computer and no kids.
This lady was telling my husband at work that her nephew pees in a bottle b/c he doesn't want to take a break from his game long enough to use the toilet. His mom lets him do this.

Does [repeated experience] affect [anyone], yes. Does playing Pac-Man mean I have to recreate the experience as perfectly as possible afterwards? NO!!! Does it mean I have to at least dye my skin yellow and marry a circle? NO! Does it mean I'll add "nak nak nak..." to everything I say? No. Does it mean I might develop an affinity for marshmallows, maybe. Does it mean I'll fall into drugs and crappy electronic music...yes.

Scientists have come to a conclusion that yes they do have a -ve effect on kids to a certain degree esp. the ones that are violent n interactive. I don't doubt them.

My midsection toddler is the game addict in our homestead and he or she is in eighth grade taking 9th grade instructions. My oldest purely dropped out and my youngest become suffering somewhat. So, some one needs to describe what harm those video games are causing, because i do not see the harm, I see the option. All my youthful ones are ladies if that concerns.

Well my little brother who is only 9 used to play call of duty 2 all the time on the computer, and now he runs in the backyard pretening he is holding a gun, and now he is interested in WWII, so I would have to say yes.

yes...they do affect kids. Pac-Man wasn't full of violence, killing, racism, and obscenities.
