Heh. Wanna feel real old? 
1-The NES had a pallete of 16 colors, but could only display 8 of them on 
screen at a time
2-The Atari 2600 could only have 4 colors on screen of a pallete of 16
3-And the original Atari (yes i have one) only had 4 colors period.

I bet your young friend would have a damn hard time with that...Im sure 
the concept of "2D side scroller" would be totally lost on his whole 
generation. I had to wait 15 years for 3D games! Kids these days have no 
clue how good they got it...they grow up with G4's and I can still 
remember when the Mac II came out...
