Re: To hell with all these new generation games!

You're 20 and you need recommendations? It seems like you're coming from Next-Gen to these Classics and require a difficult, if not impossible, rehabilitation. Honestly, I cannot say that the NES has any game that it as time-consuming, one that you can lose yourself in, as post-PSX generation. Where Next-Gen must force innovation on us, making one expect a new and exciting experience each level, The Classics survive by being simple and repetitive, like a catchy tune that will get stuck in your head. But one must realize that the age group that did not grow up with Nintendo/Super Nintendo/Genesis will be completely without memory of what video games were once like. They will go from new innovation to innovation, or from one forgetful experience to the next, with no Classics of their own. Moreover, this growing environment of force-fed innovation will make any of those who look back to our Classics (like perhaps you may be doing now) revolt back in horror at the redundancy, the simplicity, the deliberate artificiality of the games, and the crude disfigurement of their idols (Mario, Zelda, Samus).

But that has nothing to do with anything you asked ^_^
