"The Video Game Craze Is Over. For the past 6 or 7 years one of the strong competitors for the leisure time and money of our young people, particularly teenage boys, has been video games. It was at least part of the reason for the decline in the number of young people in this hobby. Hopefully some of these teenagers will now discover model railroading."
