She knows her stuff.

As for Houston’s claim about children being the future, I have never, ever gone along with her on that one. I respect most of her teachings and beliefs, but on this one I have to object. If children are the future then the future can never come, because children grow up and have children of their own, who then become the future. In Houston’s ill-considered concept of reality, the future never comes, because children are always it.

Back in the day, when ISS hit the shelves, it was as near to perfect that could be achieved on those rusty old consoles, and old biddies like you and I are still striving for the perfect simulation.

However, we aren’t young and hip anymore (so I’m perpetually reminded), and perhaps Konami are purposely attempting to woo the kids with a fast and furious soccer game, realising that the old guard are dropping away from computer games as we get married, do DIY and drop dead.

Somebody (Whitney?) once sang “The Children are our Future”.

I prefer to think of them as snot-nosed little punks who deserve a clout round the skull. I never thought it would be EA that gives them the finger and enfolds a grumbling old codger like me into its warm embrace.
