Sid Meier’s cultural victory

EuroGamer: "There is an invisible line running through the middle of the 20th century – it makes landfall somewhere towards the mid-1950s, I think – and it separates two generations of American (and Canadian) teenagers. On one side – the older side – are the teens who think everything is neat. Neat rollerskates. Neat baseball mitt. Wow, that's a neat subscription to Popular Mechanics you've got going on there! On the other side are the cool kids.

Sid Meier, it turns out, is one of these – if only just."
