These games were origanal made for kids and successfully so. the syle of the games hasn't changed. They've not matured the experiences for the ost part. So they're still kids games just one of those things that successfully capture adults aswell. Same as the example i have earlier. Lego. |
The idea that upbeat and colourful games are for kids and only dark gritty stuff is for adults is a very shallow and oversimplified notion.
C S Lewis summed it up nicely: “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
