      No...it is a testament to Conan's ineptness. River Raid and Pitfall were far superior games and neither requires any real skill. Just basic competence. Of course, that is if you choose to believe that Conan is really that bad at the other games. Rather than it being what it is. A comedy bit.

    Fun fact: the mechanics of Space Invaders that the sprites speed up as you kill more of them was not originally a design feature but rather due to limited processing speed by the computers of the time. Fans liked it so much that game developers have implemented progressive difficulty as a feature ever since.

    I'm old 44 and had an Atari 2600 when it came out. Pitfall was awesome! I hear they buried a lot of the ET cartridges in a landfill in Nevada hahaha! This brought back a lot of memories and makes me appreciate my PS4. I saw all the games and the progression of gaming from pong to Battlefield 4. I still miss arcades and pinball though... Kids nowadays miss out on the group aspect of a bunch of kids standing around a new game just waiting for room to put a quarter up in line. All captivated! Of course though I've made some great friends from around the world online gaming so it's a good trade off. Shit, if terrorists want to plot stuff and probably not be caught they should just be gamers. NSA is too busy with computers, cell phones, and such. Anyway, great video Conan!!!!!

Lol, a star wars game where you play an X-wing and take out a Walker. "You could have called this game Bird vs. Camel, and no one would have argued with you." I still see some Atari games and go "Okay, I need a 'legend' to tell me what this is and that is".
      For me, gaming Magic didn't really start till NES/SNES era, where things started to become noticeable as shapes(while still leaving lots of room for 'childhood imagination').

    And of course the Breakouts, and Decathlon (kill your controllers).
