What amazes me, though, are children's ability to handle these complex controls.


I've been watching Kelly's nephews (5 and 8 years old) play games the past couple of days and had the same thought. It's really amazing. Watching them play some of the Sonic games on Gamecube just blew me away... the games are SO FAST and complex, with cameras and levels moving in multiple dimensions and at epilepsy inducing speeds. Not to mention the subtleties of some of the control schemes. We were thinking back to the troubles we had with the simple 2 button jump controls of the NES. Kids minds can handle amazingly complex interactions.
