Why not? I like HOGs/hybrids because they are cheap, short and entertainĂ*ng. I do love "real" AGs (that would be Myst, Lost Crown and Barrow Hill type of games), but they are big. Long. It takes time and engagement to finish them.

I'm 50 years old. With a tough job (programmer/analyst), long hours, a house and a family. I don't have the time to sit down for hours and hours to play a "real AG". If I do, it should be something I know I will like. I'm waiting for Bracken Tor and The last Crown as an example, but until then - I'm quite happy with HOGs. And I just love the AG type of hybrids.

Not all game players are young and carefree...
