But alot (not all mind you)of the current console games just leave me cold. Games seem shorter, there are a lot of "me too" copycat titles, stupppppid AI, and (most egregiously to me) it seems like game developers are trying to make interactive movies more than games.Im mostly a PC gamer now. But if you want old school type experiences, I recommend a nintendo handheld, a gba or DS. The DS is great because of its interesting input capabilities, and it actually plays gba games, too. Handheld games especially nintendo's are a haven for 2d type games. And visual old schoolness aside, the games are about gameplay too. Advance wars, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Meteos, Minish Cap..lotsa fun.I sort of disregard the PSP, since it seems to me that Sony is pushing 3d "coolness" on its handheld. And I hate that dang analog nib thingee.Im hoping the next gen of consoles will bring next gen gameplay. But I fear all we will get is shinier, more reflective surfaces, online play, more expensive games, in game product advertising and fewer titles per year due to budget concerns and complex development times.And who knows the Revolution might be a haven for gameply when it comes out. Methinks Im an old fogey too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
