/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10640318
As long as my 15 year old son does his homework and maintains a 4.0 GPA I let him play whatever games he wants. He quite enjoys retro games, probably more than the the newer ones, but he still hits that Minecraft sometimes for an entire Saturday, but then he'll try and beat Mario64 or Oot faster than he did last time (minus cutscenes). I thought he was going to explode when he finally beat Ghosts n Goblins (the right way where you have to beat it 3 times); that last one got me a little misty eyes because it reminded me of when I did it as a kid and my dad who worked insane hours was there cheering me on.

I think it's healthy to mix the old with the new, even though I just can't get into shit like Minecraft or even GTA V even though I was pretty addicted to GTA III and Vice City when they first came out.
