-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work?
You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

This is true. I was reading about something similar to this on another site and the question was posed about how kids all over the country knew, without explanation, what the games (sensitive people, please excuse the title) "Smear the queer" or "Five Hundred" were.

The site had emails from everywhere in the country and they all played those and other games with the same name as well.
