The image has almost nothing to do with the trope proper.

I say pull. I have no suggestions at the moment, but it shouldn't be hard.

Well, the caption DOES say that it's there as the Trope Namer, and that it's Not An Example... :D

ETA: It may be tough to find a replacement, though. The best I can imagine is showing a kid playing with (or seeing on a screen) outdated equipment/graphics, with a caption noting when the work was released.

I am unimpressed with the current.

Ugh, that needs to go. It's only going to confuse people.

If the caption had to say it's not an example, then it's probably a bad sign. I say pull.

Trying to find a decent image of the Game Gear from Rumble In The Bronx, which the kid constantly plays even though it has no game in it.

This is the best I could find (copy and paste): http://www.tepg.se/wp-content/themes/tepg/titles/[Movie]Rumble%20in%20the%20Bronx%20(1996)_01.jpg .

Any image where the caption has to point out it's not actually an example ought to be an instant pull.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The current image is worse than useless. Pull it.

In one Powerpuff Girls episode the girls are clearly playing Pitfall on a N64. How about that?

Plus, the throwback nature is deliberate, which makes it Not An Example of this particular trope.

The old pic's gone.

The Trope Namer (sorta), but not an example of the trope.

Evidently no progress; locking up.
