The Death of Arcades

EDIT: FWIW, I used to play a lot of Falcon 4.0. If ever there was a game that was too complicated to learn, F4.0 was it. Obviously I don't think that games are too complicated to learn -- and get off of my lawn!

I had that game and hated it. Trying to land was a b#$ch.

Also, games I feel are meant to be played standing up.      Not sitting on your fat ass eating chips.

HEY! That's called PROGRESS. I will now get off your lawn.

Heh I had Falcon 3.0 and I always had autopilot do takeoff and landing!    I guess you couldn't do that with 4.0?

I love flight sims... I think taking off and landing in Falcon 3 was easy compared to getting the 610k of free conventional memory required to launch the game. 

One thing that appeals to me a lot with the old games is that now that I have a young child, I can play something for 10 or 15 minutes. I'm still usually playing one newer PC game a couple nights a week after she's in bed, but the short games really have a lot of appeal to people pressed for time.
