The Nintendo Kid

[A Black Falcon]

You cannot, however, say that there are no innovative, or small/indie, games being made. Every so often a truly unique title comes out, and on PC there's a lot of interesting stuff out there in freeware... and if you look back, you'd remember how many truly awful games, and how many derivitive games, there truly were back then. I think some of this is 'rose-colored glasses'... but I'm not saying there's no truth to it, the gaming industry has definitely changed into a more mass-market-focused industry. And some genres or ideas have been mostly lost. But overall game quality continues to increase, and technology does offer some new options... so it's not a one-sided picture.
