Yeah, these days it's obvious that video games are the next logical step in media consumption. First we had audio. Then we had audio+video. Now we have audio+video+interaction. You can literally watch a movie inside of a video game, if you care to.

But back then, the audio and video qualities of games weren't yet terribly developed. You could still easily find board games, or heck, sports, that were more complex than Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
I can definitely see that one would think, it's a novelty and not be able to imagine how cineastic games would become, or that some even contain books worth of history lessons.

Except the greatest educational game of all time was already ten years old and dead from dysentery by the time she was speaking.

I think it's more a case of her certainty coming from a lack of knowledge about the subject and the assumption that because she doesn't know about it that it doesn't exist.

I mean, yeah, I am also assuming that she was no expert on the matter. We're saying that it was an understandable opinion for a lay person or even someone who kept up with the bigger titles. It certainly wasn't easy back then to know about all kinds of games...

I think everyone is looking at audio + visual + interaction + immersion as the next step but no one's quite figured it out yet.

I just finished a session of Asgard's Wrath 2 and we're definitely getting there.
