/vr/ - Retro Games

something creeps me out about C64 games, especially the ones made in the 90s. there's the black backgrounds and muted colors and the knowledge that you're playing a game nobody else on the planet has touched in years. they don't have much introductory fanfare or sense of pacing, so the levels feel like they were violently ripped out of a larger game and squeezed into a C64. the gorgeous graphics clash with the minimal playtesting. as you play, the games fall apart in front of you.
