It's easy to disprove a negative. Simply find life on Mars.

Very fond memories indeed of playing this DOS game on old Celeron and Pentium II.

The game is honestly much better than the Marios and Sonics that it was trying to mimic (at least part 5 and 6 were IMO)

Nope they dont. In fact it has shown to slow their development (social, mechanical, physical, speech).

Kids should be playing in the real world for a long time before they are exposed to the virtual world.

But so often parents make these decisions based on nostaliga ("Oh look my 3 y/o son is playing Zelda just like I did when I was a kid")

Pardon the crassness but this statistic as well as the study behind is is utterly useless.
This really doesn't tell us anything.

You could instead speculate that what we consider the "Visual Areas" of the brain are more than that. Hence we have been wrong about those parts of the brain.
