I mean games that you can play from start til finish during free times. Maybe between 45 minutes to 2-3 hours.
I still remember last time during 8-16bit era, especially the famicom system where most games are pretty short and you need to play it in 1 sittings.
You know they are short, you know every spot with secret mushrooms, stars etc, know every short cuts and where every enemy are. You know you've probably finished it 100 times, Yet you can keep playing it over and over and it just doesn't get old or bored. You play it to relax & have real fun.
I missed those days. Games nowadays are just too time consuming & stressful, i really hate it when the Japanese Game makers start making tons of side quest, unlockables that requires you to play a lengthly game over & over since the PSOne era, and which spawned the modern even more useless trophy & achievement thing. I'm not sure people who play games nowadays play for fun or for the achievements... man i miss those NES & SNES era.
BTW my all time favourite is Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers from Famicom System. If you guys have kids it's a must to have them play it! Throw them off the cliff or into a mosquito if you have to, in game of course.
