I’ve actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.
There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It’s worse than watching comedies from the 50s.
My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora’s mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.
Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged…poorly.
I started the pixel remaster of ff6 and I’m surprised how well it holds up
