Modern Video Games / Re: Are you sold on 4k or are you still waiting on it?

I think 4K and HDR are cool, but I rarely upgrade to such things right away. I didn't get my own HDTV until a few years ago. It was $140 pre-owned from one of my brother's college roommates, and it's really not the best one on the market. So by the time I get 4K something better will probably be on the horizon.

Classic Video Games / Re: How Many Play Atari 2600 Games In Any Way

« on: November 23, 2017, 10:08:39 am »

I was born in 1990. I played Gameboy and NES in 1995, so those are like the "bare minimum" a game is supposed to be for me. It makes it difficult for me to relate to the Atari 2600 experience.

However, I love Atari arcade games (Centipede, Battlezone, Missile Command, Black Widow, Tempest, etc). But I don't prefer the home versions of those. To me, that feels like playing the Super Nintendo version of Doom today.
