Head_Hunter Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I might have stopped playing winning eleven soccer recently, but my persistency in playing FIFA 06 shows that, I do enjoy old games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This is the type of question that drives me nuts. There's so many kids here that think the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 are retro consoles. They are some of the furthest from retro. If you want to enter that era you have to start at the early 1990's and go back into the 1980's to 1970's. 2 bit graphics to 16 bit graphics is retro, or as I call it, classic. Even 64 bit is classic. The N64/PS1 era is classic gaming. Anything after that; NOT retro. You kids haven't experienced the best gaming has to offer.

There's something about AoE II that makes it the most fun. How about Pac-Man? Did you ever get into playing the game when it came out newly?

The game is still that very young in my eyes even with its latest release last year 2021 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 A little bit of Mario Bros games still matters to me to a reasonable extent. Contra on Sega too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sega Dreamcast should also be included in the classic gaming category seeing as it came out in the 90s as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most kids who have played them are hitting their teen years and are becoming adults. For them it's becoming nostalgic to talk about their 360s and Playstation 3s. Lets remember that the 360 and PS3 are nearing 20 years of age themselves. 2005 and 2006 I believe is when they released. That's a long time ago for video games.

Justin11 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I simply went back to play GTA IV, not that it is my favourite,just because I simply want to experience different action from racing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Donkey Kong is something that still interests me no matter how old the game has been and also The Punisher as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It's been ages since I played at of the Donkey Kong games which I have. I'm thinking of drawing up a schedule on how to get into playing those games often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamcast came out just a couple years after the N64, so I guess it could be included. Sega Genesis is definitely a classic system. It's add-ons like the 32x and Sega CD, are odd, and a mayor league pain in the ass due to how they were designed (A separate god damn power cord for the 32x? Seriously?) but they were still interesting. The Nerd sums them up exceptionally well. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's uniqueness sets it apart from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's simply like that for you, due to high availability of games in your backlog which puts you in a selection headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Also, I think due to the 360 and PS3 being discontinued and their online services being dropped (likely soon if not already), I think they fit the retro category, as they no longer have support and are obsolete. Yeah you can still game online to some extent, but they're systems that aren't as usable as they once were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
