/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't see the problem as long as they actually enjoy the games or play them. I am only 22 years old and have been a gamer my whole life. Around the age of twelve I realized that a lot of the games coming out were boring shooters and I wanted more.

I owned a NES, SNES, PSX and an N64. Now I only owned about ten games or less per console so it's not like there is much nostalgia to go around. So, back to age twelve I truly wanted to dive headfirst into retro gaming.

Best decision I have ever made. I still play modern titles hence being a gamer but i'd say about 80% goes to retro titles. By the age of 16 soooo around 2012 I had already finished the Thief series, Doom, Wolfenstein (all mission packs) Ever build shooter (Blood is my personal favorite) and even more obscure games at the time like Sweet Home for the NES as well as many MANY other classics.

Last year I bought my own CRT (moved out) as well as getting an RGB setup and every console gen 1-7 and even an 8th. My girlfriend bought me a complete copy of Phantasy Star for the SMS last year and I was ecstatic! I am currently playing Alien Soldier and so far I love it!

There is nothing wrong with zoomers playing these games. But every community has it's posers or fakes. Like Metal Jesus for example. Just another Boomer who goes for "rare" *cough*(uncommon) games. I can truly say that retro games (gen 4 being my favorite) are the single greatest peices of art produced on a screen to interact with.
