The other thing is that there was simply fewer games back then so you either continue to play the good games you own or you don't play games. I loved Ocarina of Time, but I'm not going to pretend it was God's gift to mankind just because I played it tons in my youth. I played it tons in my youth because it was one of the best games that I owned, and even then I had plenty more options than I'm sure this person had on the Atari for good games
