I was raised on Atari 2600, Colecovision and arcade games like Donkey Kong, LOL. I could handle Sega Genesis and even 3DO, but once things starting getting more complicated (esp. controllers with triggers, sticks and buttons), I started having problems. This was around PS1, and has only gotten worse with the current generation of consoles. I don't expect it to get any easier, LOL.What happened to fun and simple multiplayer video games? They hardly make 'em anymore. I guess they assume that video game players have no friends, LOL, or think "splitscreen" is a solution. Splitscreen sucks! I can't remember which half of the screen is mine, and end up totally confused and unhappy staring at only half a screen.Why can't they make simple multiplayer or solo games like Combat, Qix or Tron for today's consoles but with better graphics?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  Why the insistence on putting in traps, puzzles and riddles no one can solve without a strategy guide? No one wants to play Resident Evil to solve puzzles, LOL, they just want to shoot zombies! No one wants to dodge traps in God of War, they just want to kill mythological monsters! No one wants to master fancy multi-button controls, they just want to play the damn game! AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH! I think I've developed Old Fogey Syndrome, LOL.</blockquote>
