Nice article, but you need not go back to the 8bit era - or even 'casual' games - if you don't have a lot of time to invest in video gaming sessions.
If you're pressed for time but still want to derive a sense of satisfaction from games, why not enjoy a few matches in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mortal Kombat 2, Samurai Shodown 2, or Guilty Gear X? A match against an opponent will require an absolute maximum of 4 minutes if you play with standard settings (60 seconds per round, 'best 2-out-of-3 rounds').
Another great alternative to playing 8bit classics when you're pressed for time is to play first person shooters in competitive multiplayer modes (i.e. capture the flag, deathmatch). Load up Unreal Tournament 99 or Quake III, set a 10 minute time limit, and frag away!
