But I enjoy the involvement part of games, especially strategy games.David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-47136654951475052762010-12-07T09:57:53.165-05:002010-12-07T09:57:53.165-05:00It's a good question, and one I wonder from ti...It's a good question, and one I wonder from time to time as I get ahold of various eight-bit wonders I haven't already played and imagined to death. 8^)<br /><br />We got one of them arcade things with some dozen Atari classics; I remember thinking the dragons looked like ducks... but mostly I remember trying hard to dissociate "Adventure" the Atari game from "Adventure" the text game based on them caves in Kentucky (which is still more awesome than any game with any graphics at all, I sometimes think). 8^)<br /><br />And I'm only twenty-one; this happens when you get videogames mainly as hand-me-downs and develop a taste for... that retro stuff, eight-bit music and the like. 8^)<br /><br />Then again, the other advantage to thinking even the first Metal Gear Solid is newfangled is that I'm still impressed by the execution of scenes in such moderately old shooters and so come out thinking there's hope for newfangled things after all; I guess we will have to see how it goes in the future, though. If it doesn't work out... there's always books, which I also enjoy over movies for the imaginative aspect. Personally, I often enjoy movies least of the three -- games, books and movies -- because it involves the least involvement on my part. That could be a personal quirck, though; and it's not like there aren't some great ones of those, some of which are brand new also, e.g. Inception, which earned all that hype it got, in my opinion.Shakespeare's Cobblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365079712115497355noreply@blogger.com
