How has the LG section changed over time?

Taking from the reading comp question thread... thought I'd raise this, in the interest of those of us that care...

LGs on old PTs (ie. PT 30 and below):

* Some obscure formats (ie. circular, advanced linear, etc) stuff that we didn't see in the past 20+ PTs

LGs on newer PTs (ie. PT 31 and above):

* More sequencing, grouping, etc. formats;
* Slightly easier (some exceptions of course such as Dinosaur game);
* Rule substitution questions;

Thoughts?

The REALLY old games (1-18) were often the weird types, and they generally were pretty balanced sections. Once in a a while there would be one game that was much easier/harder, but most of the time the games were within a specific band of difficulty. From 19-39, balanced section became a less common. The best example is PT 31: The locker and inspection games are SUPER easy. The catch is the CD game is crazy hard and the construction game has a unusual SU which will catch many people off guard. I have taken a couple of sections from the 40 and they are much more like the early games in that the games are within a predictable range. I have NOT taken any 50s or 60s and cannot comment from personal experience. (I have heard that the games are generally more difficult than the 40s, but operate within a difficulty range like earlier sections, and save for dinos, there is nothing like the difficult games from 19-38.)
