It seems everyone is hooked on these dumb games. Did people never watch the Star Trek: Next Generation episode called “The Game”?
Not recently, but it’s on Netflix if you need something to do when you’re at Mac’s with your kids.
I talk about that episode with my programming students when we talk about making engrossing Android apps. These college-age kids have no idea what I’m talking about, so I think I might show them about five minutes of it (when Wesley first gets introduced to the game).
