A very good point. If we take away 1970's Pong, and start with the 1980's Mario Brothers, then by now we should expect to see hundreds of thousands of drooling, thumb-twitching, head-bashing age 40-something (and below) murderers, IF vid games had the deleterious effects predicted.

I'm old enough to remember the same predictions being made about: television, rock 'n roll, and comic books. And marijuana. And girlie magazines.
