And when I mean retro I mean PC retro, or 7th console generation and before generally games released between 1976-2015 or perhaps newer mods for older games or newer released 8-bit or 16-bit games for older consoles or PC's in fact that is all I play when it comes to video games, all I ever hear when it comes to modern video games is RPG or open world exploring games, or even RPG strategy games or mobile games. Do you think all the games pre generation will be lost in time?, I hope not, For you born after 2010 in my own opinion you really should look into these old games your parents and possibly even your grandparents or great grandparents played in their lifetime people who grew up in the 1970's and 1980's when the video game industry began pretty much are now growing into their 50's and late 40's others in their mid to late 30's (date of post) now, and people like that grew up in the 1990's and 2000's are really the ones who seen the video game industry make the most improvements.

There are at least three of us where several of the most recent games we have played have been Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games from 30 years ago. |

Lately, I've been mostly interested in 5th gen stuff, a very interesting time to have been a gamer. Although, back then without Internet and without magazines, my knowledge of what was available then was very limited. In 1995, the only video game consoles which I knew existed was NES, SNES, Genesis, and "Atari" (meaning 2600). Even when I went to video rental stores at the time, I don't recall seeing any other types of games. All of my friends had SNES, or Genesis. For my brother and I, our first next-gen (fifth gen) game experience was getting the N64, which became my favorite console of all time over the following years. It wouldn't be until the later 90s and 2000s that I'd learn about the many game systems that existed both before and during that point, and it kinda blew my mind. Today, I'm more of a retro player. I prefer the simplicity of an era when games were straightforward, and the wow factor was just more in the fact that the games simulated their target concept what-so-ever. Today, it's like modern game devs bend over backwards trying to come up with a bunch of obtuse concepts to throw into their new games in order to keep the gameplay fresh and unique, and it just needlessly over-complicates the games. A typical side-scroller today needs to have a skill tree, crafting, it must be rouge-like, random generation of levels, random re-spawing of characters, etc, etc. It's like, why does there need to be so many layers to a damn side-scroller these days? Guess I'm a boomer. I prefer old-school, straight forward, difficult gameplay that requires you GIT GUD, or else. No bells of whistles necessary. |

I play a lot of retro games mostly nes,snes,genesis,ps1. currently Im playing lunar but I don’t play on original platforms I have a Xbox S that has thousands of games downloaded to it. It’s so much easier than dealing with hooking up a reto console every time I want to play something different. |
