Retrogaming
There are times when you simply don't want to deal with the lag of COD, the ganking of WOW or the drama momma's in eq2 or worse the just one more turn action of Civ4. Sometimes you need a quick fix. 30 minutes of joy and pleasure or carnage and destruction.
Welcome to the world of retrogaming. Its some what of a fad right now, buying your old NES off ebay, collecting your old cartiages. All to play a game that you played when you where 12 and yup you still suck at it. There is also the use of mame and some questionably legal roms. These pop up in Homebrew arcade machines, powered by pc's, outputed to 19-21" tv's full 8way joysticks and buttons galore.
The rebirth of some of these games is simply because of time . I don't always have 6 hrs to do a raid, 2 hrs to do a clan Team DM , sometimes all I have is 30 minutes. How far can you get in SuperMario 3 In 30 minutes. Street Fighter 2? Total Carnage? It's simple these games are short and sweet. Can you still enjoy it, all under 30 minutes.
