The whole thread about beating games multiple times reminded me of the good old days when I used to only get 1 game every 1 or 2 months and played them to death. Now it seems like there is some fairly big release every week and I've barely gotten into one game and another comes out. Then the horrible stacks of games start, then shelves, and finally boxes as a new generation of systems is out and I still have games wrapped in plastic from the previous generation. I miss playing The Legend of Zelda all the way through and then starting right over to do the second quest. I even once played through 2 complete seasons of Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. on my N64, and now I haven't finished a season of Madden 2005. I'm sure I'm not alone here. Just wondering when it really started to go down hill for everyone else. I would have to say it all started with the Dreamcast for me and now CAG doesn't help as far as limiting purchases.
