Super Mario Bros. was fun. The story? "Bad guy takes princess...go get her"
Pac-Man was fun. The story? "You're a yellow circle...eat things"
Q-Bert was fun. The story? "Who the fuck knows?"
Tetris IS fun. The story? "You're a construction worker?"
Games do not have to have epic stories to be good.
And Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest...
Games still don't need epic stories, look at Street Fighter, Angry Birds, Game Dev Story, Infinity Blade, etc.
I don't get why people are enamored with games from the past, yeah they were good and fun. But they weren't any better than what we have now, and I would rather play Super Mario Galaxy than Super Mario Bros- and I was old enough to have and play the original NES when it first came out.
And Duck hunt was a shitty game, with shitty accuracy and I cheated like you wouldn't believe.
