I've tried people and AI for recommendations for games. Both have made me decide to give up and spend my time elsewhere. I won't play anything with cards, strategy, puzzles, reflexes required, must be easy, but still really fun. No parodies. I must be able to save the game every 10-15 minutes. Nothing meets all of those categories...

It's very difficult to find you something to play if you have all those requirements. If you boot up a game with a shopping list of requirements, you're going to be disappointed. To me, it sounds like there's an issue with how you're going about this. Gaming is just a fun activity to do

I have some classic games, I think my birthday present 30 years ago was a copy of Earthworm Jim
1 and 2 for the PC.
Who needs a PS1 when you have the PC.
I think there are still some games that were only available for the PS1
that weren't available for the PC. But if you have a PC, you can run a
PS1 emulator to play them. :)

Yes, ever since Bleem in 1999 :).
I remember buying a copy of Bleem when it was available in stores. And I heard Sony sued the company that made Bleem, so they had to stop selling it. I also remember another PS1 emulator called Connectix Virtual Game Station.. These days there are other PS1 emulators available (and
they're free). I thought Bleem was cool though because it attempted to improve the graphics of the PS1 games in real-time.
Has anyone tried the Dolphin emulation software? My son and I were thinking of using it to play some old Nintendo titles. Looks pretty good, but haven't tried it out yet.
I think Dolphin is for Nintendo Wii, isn't it? I remember trying it on a handheld device I have.

Present time games are very time consuming and i don't enjoy them, also.
These days you can do couch gaming with a PC and a good gamepad. With the raising prices of consoles there is much less of a reason to own a
console if you have a mid-end PC.

In 1996-1997, I was given a 486/100 PC instead of a PS1. It was a worthy investment :)Who needs a PS1 when you have the PC.
Are you trying to start a fight? Because back in the days those were fighting
words.
Truth to be told PCs used to be more advanced but consoles used to be more convenient and affordable. If you already had a computer the main reason to pick a console would be to play exclusives, frankly. Back in the day, another
reason for using a console if you had a PC was that consoles were more convenient for couch gaming.

honestly, hindsight is awesome.. especially if you can resist keeping up with gaming for long periods of time.
i tend to play tons of games maybe 7-10 years late.. you end up knowing pretty much every game that is either awesome "game of the year" stuff or total crap. never purchased any bad PS1 games. most of them for maybe $10-20 from the used section.
