    The Rock/Paper/Scissors thing makes me want to say things and do things that would have Homeland Security sniping me from outside my home. #games

    It seems that turning an "analog" game into digital is just a way to milk more money without being creative. #games

    I have to say, as an avid chess player, and geek-tard, I like the chess board. The Rubik's Cube isn't so bad either.

    Everything else can kiss my butt. #games

    I have to say, having to turn that plastic cube everywhere only adds to the frustration of spending hours trying to solve the original. A new electronic version should allow us to hack into it's global network and turn into a Borg Cube controlled by Pee Wee Herman who will no doubt use it to capture the attention of children in far-off galaxies.

    On second thought, I want Pee Wee to remain an Earth-only phenomenon, so I will continue to endure the wrist pain and stick with the puzzle I have never solved without the help of Google. Technology be damned.

    Take solace in knowing that Pee Wee is enduring some wrist pain of his own... #games

    9 of these are horrid, terrible ideas, fueled by money crazed executives.

    1 is so awesome, one wonders if it appears here only because it's awesomeness took hold of the writer's mind and forces him to add it to things it shouldn't be to just stand out even more.

    Yes I'm talking about that incredible Vacuum tube chess set. It's awesome. Very awesome, and does not deserve to be on this list.

    @RoboBagins: I was just going to say. That chess set is just neat and hardly a digital conversion. But, any reason to show it off is good enough for me.

    I also was completely flabbergasted to see the rock, paper, scissors contraption. It actually offended my delicate nature.

    This list is incomplete without the Monopoly game that has a digital bank/credit cards.

    First, I learned to count money with that game.

    Second, I learned how to cheat/steal with that game. #games
