I chose the, "nothing" option in the poll.
Though, my "like" most closely relates to gameplay. Most of the time, I prefer 2D games.
I've played 3D stuff that I've liked, such as Magic Carpet, howeve much of this is on the PC. Though, if you consider STUN Runner 3D, youc an count that too, hahah.
There is a bit of a grey area with the 2D and 3D stuff.
I also like games I can pickup a play for a few moments when I have the time, and not have to be concerned about my progress in the game. Atari is good for that.
I still do enjoy a few time consuming RPG type games now and again, and every once in a while I get the itch to play a particular game through to completion.
16 bit and prior games had a lot of stuff that was easy to pickup and play, and learn fast. I've had folks learn how to play bomberman faster than I can memorize all the controsl for the few times I've played Halo, 13, etc on an X-box (Those controls are awful, really needs a keyboard and mouse!)
My interest in games started to fizzle out in the mid-late 90's. I stopped with the 16-bit systems, as I did not find anything too interesting with the 3D games that were being heavily pushed at that time on the Playstation and such.
I owned a Jaguar for a period of time when the system and the games were on clearance. It was decent, had some good 2D games. Though, after a while Tempest 2000 became the only game I'd play on the machine, hahaha. Eventually, I sold it.
I recently picked up a GameBoy Player, which required a Gamecube. I forget who said it on this forum, however it really does seem to be as though it, "picks up where the Super Nintendo left off".
I haven't explored the GBA library too heavily yet, though there are some interesting games out there for it such as the updated Link, Advance Wars, etc.
The GB player has kinda messed with how I could be able to say I have not purchased a game system since the 90's... So far the past 5 systems I've purcahsed have been Turbo Duo, Jaguar (gone), Virtual Boy (gone), Gameboy player + Gamecube = GameboyCube.
My interest in video games comes and goes. Sometimes I end up boxing much of it up for a while, so I can come back to it later. Either way, given my history, I can pretty much count on having the itch for video games. Even if I don't play some games for a while, I still keep the stuff around for when the itch needs scratching.
A bit of a ramble there, however it gives my feelings towards what I find important when I choose to spend time with video games!
