Super Mario brothers were those Italian plumber guys from the arcade Donkey Kong games, right? Aren't they supposed to be the most successful game of all time? I mostly played shooters, or SEGA Kangaroo in those days, because Donkey Kong was always busy.

I was a pinball junkie, never really got terribly into the arcade games.

Nintendos are those Game Boy things my friends' kids got addicted to. I think kids today are addicted to iPads instead.

My kids/cousins would provide anecdotal evidence to the contrary.  Gameboys/ipods/ipads are about 50/50.  With the older kids tending to lean more Gameboy for 'deeper' games.

We have reached an informational threshold which can only be crossed by harnessing the speed of light directly. The quickest computations require the fasted possible particles moving along the shortest paths. Since the capability now exists to take our information directly from photons traveling molecular paths, the final act of the information revolution will soon be upon us.
