    My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a “slalom”?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day’s work, bada-bing bada-boom.

    People definitely would’ve given up nowadays.

      Completely untrue. They would watch some loud obnoxious guy on YouTube teach you how to do it in a clickbait video that’s 10 minutes and 5 seconds long with a sponsor.

        It’s a possibility, if they really wanna play the game. Nowadays we are so spoiled for choice that we would just either switch to another game or pick up the phone.

          You make it sound bad. If a game doesn’t entertain me or does annoy me, i move on. Back then there was no “on”. Not many games around, might as well stick with what you have.

            I wasn’t making it sound bad. I’m just saying how it is. We wouldn’t tolerate game mechanics like those nowadays. That’s all I’m saying.
