NES all had Stories too... Tetris is a example, but its not enough to prove your orginal point 1 out of billions?

No, i am simply disputing your claim that 'Games were always MEANT to have story'. No they weren't, games never need or require story, they require gameplay.

Out of what 1 billion? Do you know what you wrote?
'Games always had stories', do you know what this means? Games ALWAYS HAD STORIES means every game has a story.
I dispute this.
Obviously what you really mean is 'the game industry in Nes/Snes days always had story games' which is true, but thats not what you wrote.
But then your forgetting the arcade times of the game industry pre 1960's.
When virtually every game had no story and just had gameplay.

Yes stories are an option, but game designers always wanted to have stories, or have you forgotten the often cryptic lines of text from SNES and NES games. Yes tetris doesn't have a storyline and neither does solitare.... |
I haven't forgotten anything, and i never disputed that many game developers wanted stories in games.
Vanatos - the point were tryin to get across is Stories integral or not have always been part of gaming, your are actin like there was a time where games had no Stories you brought up Tetris which is true Tetris is more kike card game or Pong there not meant to have them
It's not that story is necessary or not. It's more along the lines that story in games have become more important than the gameplay and that's the problem. 'Why so serious?' has never been more appropiate.

Well, didn't you also say that gaming has been losing mass market appeal ever since the gen following the SNES?
Isn't this also completely wrong?

Arczdes yes?... I guess im more talkin about games during the birth of Home Console gaming |
Either way it's wrong ps1 and ps2 gens had much more mass market growth than ever during the birth or arcade generations.

Nope, stories in games were virtually non-existant before 1970's.
You mean the home-console game market (even that is not very accurate), what you REALLY mean is the NES+times.
For you the history of games only is NES and onwards, this is grossly inaccurate.
