/vr/ - Retro Games

What is it that keeps you playing old games? The difficulty and overall complexity? The stories? The graphics?

I actually have a hard time putting it into words. The sound design is a big part of it, I mean will you ever forget the sound of the shotgun in doom 1? I won't but it goes beyond that and I just find it difficult to describe. Is it nostalgia goggles? Shit I don't know. I lost track of how many new games I have started playing only to quit half an hour into it with zero interest in playing any more, they just simply aren't that interesting. I can't think of a single game in the last decade that immediately sucked me in and I had to play it until it had nothing left to show me and then play it again several more times like the old games did.
