I wasn't trying to insult anyone. I'm really shocked that anybody was offended. People who play games on consoles (in the 90s and nowadays) want something submersive and they pay $10-20 upwards for the privilege. The phone market is mostly casual gaming, free and cheap games for people who're not interested in buying a console and just want something to kill a few minutes on a commute. That's not insulting, it's just a different demographic and as such, yes they are easily pleased with something simpler.
I'm just surprised that so few of the more detailed games I remember from my early gaming days haven't been either converted or copied yet for Android. Don't get me wrong, I've killed a few minutes with Angry Birds (and before that popular titles like Abduction, Trap & Rocket Defense) and while fun they leave me wanting a little more. As I said, I'd like to see something that reminds me of classic games like Lemmings and off the top of my head Rick Dangerous, Legend of Zelda, Bubble Bobble, Oids, Nebulus or Head Over Heels. While simple they had a level of depth the games on the Android market lack but which I think would work well on a touchscreen phone and I just expected to find games more like them by now being mentioned as favourites as opposed to something like Angry Birds which is little more than an "in game" bonus level in terms of complexity.
There's plenty of talented programmers out there making games, I wonder what stops them from making games like this? I guess it's economics, people won't pay more than $2 or $3 for a game and the extra time to make something more complicated would mean they'd have to charge $10 or more. So it's easier to crank out something simple and cheap than complex and prohibitively expensive.
