         It's a child's mindset.  I'm convinced that people today are so   
   set in the dumbed down gameplay of the mass-market releases, that   
   they're actually expecting the game to conform to them.  As long as you   
   pick up the controller with the intent of figuring out the game in order   
   to master it, changes aren't a problem.  It's when you play too many of   
   these new dumbed down releases that innovation and 'hard-coreness'   
   starts to get in the way of your enjoyment.  I finished the level my   
   second try (after running out of continues) with something like 29,800   
   points and a B grade, I just had to remember how to play Sonic in 3D.   
   Your nephews were probably just open enough to get the controls down   
   based on the on screen reaction.  It's just one of the hazards of   
   experience, getting set in our ways.
