3D Sonic the Hedgehog

Played this for 26 minutes, my 3DS said — long enough to appreciate the 3D effect and remember why I don’t really enjoy platformers. I had a couple of goes at getting past the three acts of Stage 1 and failed; read some hints, ‘abused’ the save function (advantage of modern games is not having to start right back at the start when you die!), and finally beat the stage. Hurrah! Will I bother to keep doing that until the end of the game? Eh. Sonic 2 is supposed to be better, so I’m more likely to give that a shot instead.

And once I’ve appreciated all the 3D conversions of some of these old games that I didn’t really like when I was a kid and don’t seem to have grown into, maybe I’ll finally move on to stuff I actually want to play (not just appreciate the stereoscopic visuals).
