I do agree that art is a must have, but when it comes to designing puzzles in those games, it's all about what makes the basics fun in order to make a good puzzle.

If you can enjoy your game in it's bare bones structure, only then should you spend the time it takes to add new graphics, menus, sounds, and so on. As for going to Fun Spot, no fair, I would love to go there. If I save up enough cash and get rich somehow, I'll totally join you on the trip, we'll each get our kill screen for the night :P I love what you said about not polishing a turn, it’s incredibly true.

I love my emulators and other classic gaming collections I have because sometimes it is just a great break to play games that had to be really fun because they didn't have fancy graphics to distract from sub-par gameplay. I've definitely been trying to focus on making prototypes that are as fun as possible before adding any sound, music, or polished graphics. It seems to be a great way to hone the gameplay and not waste anytime polishing a turd... ;) Oh yes, "King of Kong" is a great and intriguing documentary! I actually live pretty near to 'Fun Spot' and plan to take a trip up there to play all the old retro arcade games sometime soon with some other game design friends of mine. I think it will be a blast! "Donkey Kong kill screen coming up..." ;) I consider the classic games as a way to “go back to the basics” and review the foundations of fun.
