- In your opinion what is the optimal length a game should take to play?
- What aspects of a game make it enjoyable to you to play?
A1: I have played Legend of Zelda, Call of Duty and some Madden.
A2: It would be cool to play a game like Super Mario on Matlab.
A3: Probably under 10 minutes so it doesn’t get boring.
A4: I like it when games surprise me and bring something unexpected.
