We've come a long way since my Jets ballboy days in 1990, when players used to crowd into Hofstra dorm rooms to play Tecmo against one another after a long day of training camp. URL: www.wired.com

Great article. Thanks for sharing it… On a related note, I drove Stokley home from Preakness one year (when he was still on the Ravens). He’s a great guy…
1 month agoRT @JonathanGrella Game Changers: How Videogames Trained a Generation of Athletes http://amplify.com/u/1sml - i never thought about it but makes so much sense. i remember when i first got Madden 95, choosing what play to run was my favorite part of the game. getting a sense of the advanced, intricate details of different plays from such a young age has to have quite an impact on people’s understanding of the game. As for Tecmo Bowl…wow i loved that game. Must have played 1,000 games (totally forgot - so glad you brought that up).
