The only thing young about that is the name. What we call "casual games" were the mainstream 25 years ago, until the hardcore gamers (myself included) left the mainstream behind for RPGs, FPSs, RTSs and other acronym worthy gaming genres and types as the technology gradually enabled them. A new game like "Pac Man" or "Asteriods" would be considered "casual" nowadays.
