Every time i see it i have tears coming
Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged…poorly.
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.
Gdamn, had a recent talk about it…my sister remembers! It’s so good when you do have someone to play it with as a child…
Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
I know I can emulate, but there are times when I wish I still had my old Playstation. I left mine behind when I had to make a sudden break from an ex of mine about 20ish years ago. Somehow I ended up with a controller and the mouse, but I have no idea how they got separated from the system itself and ended up in my possession.
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that’s how far I got in the game.
Luckily those things aren’t dead, you can still play them!
Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.
you can still play them!
Off I go doing a crime again
There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.
You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.
Which is better for 8- and 16-bit games, HDMI out with an upscaler, or analog video out with a real CRT?
That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.
Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.
OoT actually got new life with the Ship pf Harkinian team
But… anime-girl buried them, so they’re kinda hard to access.
That’s lain you heathen
Why did Lain bury all the Atari 2600 games, tho?
They stole all of her Reese’s Pieces.
Yeah nintendo still sues communities trying to port oot to a more modern engine xD.
I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.
Same — everyone has so many memories of that game. For me, it reminds me of playing games with my brother, he would read the prima strategy guide and help me get through the dungeons. My father bought ocarina of time for us both for Christmas. We got drawn in to the magic of that game for several months after.

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.

You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.

We still talk about how many of your cartridges got buried in a landfill.
Amiga I still love you
