I miss simple mechanics with hidden depth. I miss short but highly replayable adventures. I miss controls that wouldn't strain my thumbs. I miss games with ridiculous amounts of missions and extra content. I miss tight gameplay loops serving short sessions.
I miss handheld video games.

I apologize for failing to resist the urge to take several cheap shots at the video game industry.

@vtrlx@mastodon.social I miss games that were just a few kBs in size.
