One of my favorite things about older games is that they were way simpler than modern games are now. Yes the older games were challenging but the challenging part was the actual game. Not trying to get out of a room or advance the plot by doing 16,000 side missions.

As far as couch co op, I actually enjoy it more now. You show a sports game being played and its quite modern. With older games, you don't have the ability to play online like you do with newer ones. Thats awesome if you are old school like me. I would much rather play with someone in the same room as me but I very much appreciate the awesome work we have done to make our gaming global.

Overall a really good blog! You make really great points and I will look forward to reading more in the future!
