[QUOTE="Fuseball, post: 25767, member: 539"] I think the biggest difference between older and newer games is length of play time. The really challenging stuff on modern games (wizard modes etc.) takes a long game to build up towards whereas older games tend to be harder and less forgiving from the start. An extra ball or special on an older game should be a genuine achievement. For me it's the difference between playing an '80s arcade game and a modern console game. The former is a 2-3 minute burst of challenge and the latter is an hour long test of endurance. I enjoy older games precisely because they are over so much quicker. Settling in for an hour of MM isn't always what I want or have time for. Similarly I love viciously hard arcade video games. YMMV. :) [/QUOTE]
