/vr/ - Retro Games

I agree there is a large barrier to playing older games. The graphics, controls, UI and sound aren't nearly as refined as what we have today, and those aspects can definitely make for a tougher or more confusing experience going in.

However, my own experience going back and playing games and titles from systems and computers that I never had nostalgia for has been pretty positive. There is that initial barrier that you have to get through, but a few hours into a good game you adjust to the idiosyncrasies and the problems start to melt away into immersion.

I think if people would actually give these older games a chance, and play them with the intention to beat them, then their opinions would be quite different.
