Usually one can find a video game that both teens and parents can both enjoy? :-) Wasn't the original "Princess" telephone marketed just as much to teenaged daughters as to their mothers? :-)

Back in the sixties there were Ma Bell "buy our new phone" ads on TV every day. What an idiot. Back then, we ALL had the SAME phones in EVERY house. There was ZERO "marketing" by ATT of their phones to us. WE HAD to use whatever they supplied. It wasn't until the seventies that we were even allowed to use other phone makers, and they had strict rules they had to follow in their designs. The phone "selection" was made by the installer, back when 'the princess phone' came out, unless the woman of the house was around to ask for specific phones at alternate locations. There were not even any "phone stores" until the mid seventies.
