I pulled out my Gameboy the other week and there’s something about retro games that’s so simplistic. That’s why they were so addictive and were be played by kids, mums and granddads. Nowadays games are pretty complicated but why? Okay so Flappy Bird is a bit of an exception but in terms of console games there isn’t anything that simple out there to buy. I’m not just talking about simplicity in difficulty level but also in appearance. Mario in 2D is a fine example and I don’t know about you but I much prefer him this way compared to the 3D version on the Wii U. It might just be me but if think there’s still room for stripped back games and I can only hope they will re-trend at some stage in the near future.
Simple games – Why do they no longer exist?
