I am well over 20, but I can give you some general impressions. I certainly hope that Halo is in the childhood memories of anyone who grew up with these games. I have lots of happy childhood memories of playing video games that were, at the time, amazing video games in their own right. Sitting at home with the chicken pox (do people even get that anymore?), happily playing Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2 and Zelda; playing Duke Nukem 1 and Wolfenstein 3D in my parents' basement in middle school; Duke Nukem 3D in the last couple years of high school, in between football, swimming, and phone conversations with girls; online Quake 1 fragmatches in the first year of college where we'd get the whole dorm involved; and so on. It sure seems like it would make sense for people who are growing up now to have memories of playing the Halo games.
The Halo series happened fully while I was an adult, with the first game coming out after I was already out of college. But I was hooked immediately, as was the rest of the country. And I know that even though I have good memories about playing the game, there is nothing quite so happy or peaceful as a good childhood memory. So I hope that anybody here who is under 20 will not feel too silly in cherishing these memories of playing the Halo series. At the least, they sure do provide a good frame of reference for other good memories :-)
