Many people play video games as an escape from their real lives, an immersive way to think about something or somewhere else for a while and explore a whole new (albeit virtual) world.
Which is why realistic games like Grand Theft Auto, Splinter Cell and Call Of Duty only make up about ten percent of the market, and why adding ten percent more realism to classic video games totally ruins them. (Barely NSFW due to language)
This Dorkly Video illustrates why our favorite classic games are better off being as unrealistic as possible, because we can't have the entire Yoshi population getting put in prison!
