So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn’t have a specific console growing up so we didn’t play the “classics” on it, or something.

I’m just wondering how many of you have played an older game and thought “wow, I wish I grew up with this game”?

For example, for me, many years ago I played Super Metroid for the first time and fell in love with the idea of just wandering aimlessly around the game world, occasionally stumbling into new areas. I would have loved to have played it as a kid with childlike wonder without worrying about finishing the game or making progress.

    I got on the Amiga train in 1990 instead. BBS and early internet!

      I loved my Amiga. I got one the same year as you.

        i managed to get my hands on two Amiga 4000 040 in a local auction a few years ago.

        Other than replacing the batteries and some minor repairs, i’m ashamed to say that they are just collecting dust.

        Still, pretty to look at. God i wanted one back in the day! Now i’ve got two! 😄
