I think people who watch whole "Lets Play" things have a whole lotta time on their hands...
I mean, short little games - like say Pac-Man CE-DX or Metal Slug X, maybe? But a whole game? Like really? Why are you watching someone play a whole game? If I want to know what a game is like I watch a gameplay video, not a "Lets Play" video.
Basically for Arcade games it's nice to see "Flawless Runs" of levels and can be useful in learning the scoring system, otherwise - I have far better things to do with my time.
Having said that, watching comedic "Lets Play" of older games can be fine as long as it's more for the comedy. Gaming Grumps' Goof Troop videos are hilarious for example.
