Rhetorical question: Do you think that games for smart phones fit the bill? There's a bit of a gameplay renaissance going on there. Games like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Plants vs. Zombies (the big names) that are simple to develop, low budget, and simple in concept but manage to suck you in for hours. Maybe that's where the new retro revolution is. Probably ten years from now, creativity in smart phone games will have come to an end and every game will be a knock off of every other game save for a few. Meanwhile, the simplicity of dinner plate games will begin the cycle again.
