Imagine if Hiroyasu Machiguchi had seen what you people did to his masterpiece.

>mfw one game of Time Crisis 2 costs a whole dollar
>she probably thought I was gonna play 4 games of Pac-Man or Galaga with that dollar

Have the feelings gone, /vr/?

I want to get back into PSOne, but it just doesn't excite me these days.

I had one in its heyday and there were so many games I wanted after playing the demos!

But I couldn't afford them all

Now I can download any ISO I want and play it in OpenEmu on my mac

I have a PS3 Controller which is paired, and the emulation is near flawless

But its just not the same

I'm 31 now, and when I was 15 I could fully immerse myself in the worlds. But now I just play them for a few minutes and I know they're fake. It's all just kind of meaningless..

I can play fairly modern games and be ok, like Skyrim, but these old games just don't do it.

I wonder if its because i've grown up, when I was 15 vidya was my whole world because I couldn't do much else. Now I can truly explore the real world. I can do anything provided I have the money.

Is it that the graphics and control schemes are so primitive compared to today?

Or is it because I don't have the physical copies I don't feel invested? Maybe if I had a physical console and some discs it would be better?

I have an awesome 16:9 Sony Trinitron CRT that would be fantastic to pair with the PSOne. Two 90s Sony greats working in harmony..

I just don't know what to do /vr/ I want the magic back
