The Classic Gaming Expo was this past weekend. Take a look at the speaker list for a trip back to how things used to be done. The Wired News writeup makes the interesting point that while modern games can take days to master, the classic games take just minutes to learn and are just right for a quick diversion. I dunno about that. It’s true that you can easily pick up an older game, but it’s the addiction factor that is the true time sink, not the ramp up time.
