I find it Zelda like. It had puzzle solving and all that, like the others. The only difference was that it ran in a three-day cycle and it was surreal, sorta like Link's Awakening. I will admit that Majora's Mask is one of the darkest games in the franchise's history.

In general, more children today have parents who grew up with video games and still play them. That makes them more willing to buy video games for their children.

I only got something like that for Christmas and it wasn't much, but I appreciated it. I knew how much game carts cost. I remember only twice in my life I received games outside of Christmas. In 1993, since it was my first time being stuck at home all summer because I was finally too old to go to the Summer Program I would do (cut off was 11 or 12) and my mother took me to the K-Mart and said I could pick out some games. I was dumbstruck, and even asking if she was sure because, as mentioned, I knew how much that cost and games are "want" not a "need". She said it was okay. I got Star Fox, Mario is Missing, Super Mario Kart, and a couple of others (mind is blank at the moment). The other time was in 1996. My aunt gave me Super Mario RPG for my birthday.
I didn't grow up with an allowance or anything like that, so I could never buy my own games. Even the SNES, I didn't ask for that, I woke up to find it under the tree for Christmas. I'd made honor roll in school. lol When the N64 was about to come out, my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I listed off SNES games. I was stubborn over the N64 since I felt that the SNES still had life in it, but that Christmas, I ended up with the N64. lol I was thankful for it. ^_^
