they're great games, you already know them and know that you like them and how they work.
and.
they're still triggering your dopamine release like when you were young. i remember reading an article about why every older person seems to hear the music from his youth. the reason for this is that when we're in our teens, the brain releases dopamines more readily and we're losing that ability when we grow older - except for the already ingrained pavlovian triggers.
i can't cite any sources right now. i think i ... uh, saw it on cracked (yeah, shame on me).
