Games are a unique medium in that the control is given to the observer. Within this structure, systems and mechanics must be built in order to offer control to the player. As such games must constantly innovate or introduce outright new systems and mechanics at a regular pace. That also sometimes means that good mechanics get left behind. That's what we want to discuss with the topic. What mechanics of old should have stuck around or should, in the modern age, make a come back.
