I think I would have really played with this as a kid. When I was 20 or so and finally an RPG maker came out over here, I snapped it up, and then realized I just don't care to put that kind of effort into that sort of thing. I don't even tinker with the level editors on games like Excitebike or Lode Runner anymore. My ten year old self would have played 'til he dropped. Now, these games are a nice thought but best left to kids who still get summer vacations and spring/winter breaks.

You know, as I say this, I mean it, and yet I somehow did manage to blow a ton of hours on Terraria last year. Huh. Maybe I'll try it on the cheap sometime.
