beatae memoriae [translation]

This Slate article kinda misses the point:

When I recently played the Midway Arcade Treasures collection, what intrigued me most were the commentary tracks by the games' creators, who moaned and complained about how hard it was to craft a game using those old 1970s microprocessors. The guys who wrote Pac-Man or Dig Dug couldn't hide behind cutting-edge graphics of exit wounds, so they actually had to focus on making the thing fun. No wonder everyone's turning back to retro hits like Space Invaders.

I think.
