I say take their shiny new PCs away, and give them a Sinclair Spectrum, a cassette recorder, a blank tape, and a 1980s vintage computer gaming magazine. You want to play games? You've got to type it in first. Only 5 pages of badly-printed random characters to type in (and then the game turns out to be crap anyway ).

Can you imagine the whiners here turning up at a real RAF fighter squadron?

"I'm not flying that. Hurricanes are porked. I wanna Spitfire. And the graphics are rubbish - this airfield is all in black and white..."

You took me back! Pages of hexadecimal data until my eyes were bleeding... LOL but those games were fun because we EARNED them..LOL
