It's very likely youngsters today were introduced to it by someone who grew up with the game, and would not had found out about it otherwise. You'll be surprised by those younger than you who know about this game. Definitely not that many here who are about half the game's age. Also, don't forget that people like you have access to way more today than us who are much older when we were your age. Social media, Youtube, etc. These were just barely coming into the world when I was your age and in high school, but I didn't know about them until about 2 years after they were founded and made. I got acquainted with them in my senior year of high school, months before I went off to college. It's probably not likely youngsters today will accidentally stumble upon game information on these sites, but with how very easy it is to find information online on practically everything, maybe sooner or later they will, if ever.
It's hard to believe that next year the game will be 30 years old.
