It's a lot of fun to explore alien planets while snuggled up in an easy chair with a seagull and a big screen TV. Works just as well on little kids as on their adult uncles. When compared to the Sony PS1 from 20 years ago, the newer model does not leave a straight grandiose sensation of something better upon first use; instead, it's merely the case that the graphics are more visually appealing and games are more accessible to the general public. The second is when you actually start playing; at this point, time stops, and you gain experience points for eating, sleeping, and using any and all items. Watch out!
