Amazing to me

I recently learned that some of my favourite old computer games had been reinvented in very creative ways, let me Explain. 

When I was a kid there was a game called Myst. The game is a point and click adventure puzzle game. In the game you click on still pictures to navigate around an island with hidden door ways to other dimensions. I learned that when you play puzzle adventure games it is useful to have a pen & paper with you to write down clues. I recently learned that Myst had been recreated as a first person 3D puzzle game, I believe it is called realMyst on Android. To me that is amazing. Look up Myst and realMyst on a YouTube to see what I am writing about. 

I also learned that someone had recreated 16 bit sonic the hedgehog and Super Mario in virtual reality. This means you could look through the eyes of Mario and Sonic and be in their world. To me that is Amazing. The trouble with virtual reality is it makes me puke. After about 1 hour I get very dizzy so I won't bother trying these games out. At least until they make a virtual reality walking machines so it feels more real.
