simple

I just started to play Mario Bro on the Mario All Stars and i was thinking how much I missed how simple the object of the game was (get Mario from point a to point b). Now the game is kinda hard but what you have to do to beat a level was simple and your best weapon was a flower. Some levels you can just run pass everything. As games grew to what we have now I see levels can take hours. I mean in the NES days you could just pick up and play just about any game you wanted. Does anyone else miss the way the object of the games were simple back in the day ?

I was trying to figure out where you got a flower in Mario Bros.

My bad I mean Super Mario Brothers

I did think there was something sublime about how the only point to getting three stars in New Super Mario Bros was to get three stars - no fancy gimmicks, no unlockable cutscenes. It was an interesting approach.

I might have agreed ten years ago....today XBLA and PSN are loaded with such games.
