I was a big game fan for 20 odd years on and off, from Sinclair ZX81 to XBOX/PS2 with most consoles in between. Then a few years ago I lost all interest. I dont know if it was because games got bigger and more complicated, demanding more of my time or that I just wasnt prepared to give them the time anymore. Probably a bit of both.

The only games I would play on my own now is retro stuff on emulators for the PC, old simple stuff like Pacman, Moon Cresta, Galaxians, Rainbow Islands. Simple uncomplicated stuff with good gameplay. I still occasionally have an odd game on SNES and N64 emulators, Super Mario World and Ocarina of Time still play great.

I wouldnt mind playing a big RPG again but not on my own, it would have to be a 2 man effort with someone else to keep the enthusiasm going.
