I’m at my friends Sophie and Gille’s house outside of Paris and I’ve seen, firsthand, how the French treat fine technology. Witness the Mattell Armor Battle you see before you. This classic 1978 handheld game is currently propping a door open to their spare bedroom, a situation that I find alarming and/or disconcerting. If this is how they treat the stewardship of classic gaming consoles, I shudder to think how they’re handling leadership of the EU during these six months. Quel Horreur!
