Whenever I used to talk about video games with my mom's now ex-boyfriend, he would shout, "'''DONKEY KONG!'''," as if he still believed video games were 8-bit arcade games. Yet, he has a PS2 with GranTurismo and some shooters on there.

I used to play Game Boy on the school bus to pass the time, since I'd spend about an hour and 45 minutes on it (I lived pretty far from my schools). Sometimes, I'd get questions like, "What level are you on?" or, "How many points do you have?" before they even ask what game I'm playing. A few don't even realize there are interchangeable cartridges and think each game exists as a separate Game Boy. (Chances are the game I was playing was some {{Pokemon}} game.
