Yeah, i agree with you.
I seriously loved those kind of classic games, like games from the Super Mario franchise, i used to love playing these when i was a kid.
But there still are games like this, for example Undertale, it's pretty simple and fun, and also somewhat challenging in some areas.
What's also good about classic video games is that the consoles that they use are built in a way that they would often survive in a vehicle during a car crash, they're pretty tough unlike some nowadays consoles, and anyone can come back and play some of those old classic games since they're cheap these days.
Old video games have a lot of advantages that make them a lot better than newer video games.
