I agree, none of that comparison made sense. It relies too much on prior knowledge/association.

Lemme break it down then..

Most people, if asked what a Mario game, one of the most iconic and best selling franchises in gaming history... beaten out only by Pokemon (owned by the same company) was like 20 years ago, they'd describe this - https://youtu.be/7qirrV8w5SQ

When in reality, Mario 20 years ago, was this - https://youtu.be/WIHFSgPv3Ak

This is due to how bad of a perception of time we as humans seem to have... It works for other things

20 years ago "Ah yeah that's when we were using floppy disks right?"

Heck my brother's a pretty sharp guy, but at one point he seemed to think my dad's generation grew up with black and white silent films, and not... Friday the 13th or Ghostbusters

Well, in the 1970/1980 there actually were still a lot of black and white movies on TV. "The Streets of San Francisco" "Kojak" "Dragnet" not to mention the endless reruns of Stan and Laurel.

For reruns in Argentina, nothing beats Disney's Zorro. It's a full-on revered classic here.

Wow, I remember that one too from my child hood. The German TV played it once, the Austrian TV played it like over and over again. Don't ask me why but the Austrian TV was always miles better than the German TV. Living close to the border allowed us to watch both, sometimes even the Swiss TV which was usually attrocious.
