/vr/ - Retro Games

its more like you would die before you got to play every retro game

How realistically close are you to that goal? Do you think you'll be running out of retro games anytime soon?

>>7477407
There's more in life than videogames, Anon

>>7477407
Finding an additional hobby. There's an entire planet of things to experience and videogames are a drop in the bucket.

I'm at the end of my "must play classics" list I made two years ago, and I've already replayed a few of them.
Idk where to go from here. Been thinking of a deep dive into PS2/PS1 obscure shit. That or SNES rpgs, but I can only do so many of those in a row.

>>7477407
>running out
LOL faggot, the point of retro games is to replay the ones you like and git gudder at them.

Probably by being pretty far from the some point

I’ve been thinking about this, but I think by the time I truly exhaust the libraries of the PS1 and Sega Saturn, I’ll be ready to plumb early PS2, and then I’ll probably be dead in a few years after that, so I’m not worried about it.

>>7477407
No... No you won't. It would take multiple lifetimes to finish all the retro games. Hell it'd probably take a few lives to finish just the good games.

Go balls deep and just play random shit on myabandonware

>at some point a dumb zoomie will shitpost
>how do you deal with this stupidity
I mock him and chuckle and disgust at his ignorance.
There are currently enough retro games to last you several lifetimes. Even if you don't choke on a tide pod. And the way you zoomies keep asking new things to be retro that will just keep growing. Do you have any idea how many tens of thousands of games you added with the rule change. zoom zoom.

The definition of what is retro expands with time.

zero because 6th gen will never be retro no matter what tranny cuck mods say

>>7477407
I have other passions, interests, and people in my life other than old games bro, if you don't yourself then I would recommend investing in them

>>7477407
move onto old films and anime

Thanks anon, not OP but I didnt know about this website. I will mess around with it and the games on it. Looks cool

>>7477407
i'm just sitting here thinking of all the great arcade games alone i've never even fucking SEEN, let alone fired up on MAME. lmao fucking get real OP.

>>7477407
I have a modded xbox with the entire xbox library, every single game from the atari, nes, snes, genesis/cd, gb/gba, and n64 along with over 4500 arcade games running through MAME, a freemcboot ps2, and a Dreamcast with a gdemu in it. I literally could play a new game every single day for the rest of my life and not run out even if I only stick to well regarded ones

>Play through all excellent retro games
>Takes so long to do I forget most of what I played
>Go through entire retro library again
>The games were built from the ground up to be replayable as fuck anyway
Not to mention all the romhacks out there, both additions/changes to base game as well as full length fan games.

>>7477407
Did you already venture into the DOS games library?

When the aliens make contact, I can play their retrogames.

>>7477407
To play through the amount of retro games released in a year, takes longer than a real-time year. Or look at an issue of Gamepro or EGM. You won't be able to play through all the games they talk about in a single month.

>>7477407
by the time you will finish everything up to 6th gen, 7th gen (and 8th, 9th...) will be considered retro by this board
basically you will always have new retro games unless the industry stops for some reason

You WILL run out of retro games to enjoy.
You WILL play 6th gen and pretend it's retro.
You WILL eventually consider the HD generation retro.
You WILL enjoy thug simulators and modern warfare shooters.
You WILL embrace brown and bloom in a nostalgic manner.
You WILL have faux nostalgia for a manufactures fake version of the 80s consisting of fuchsia and blue neon designs made in photo shop.
You WILL sell your 90s consoles and replace them with emuboxes.
You WILL defend /vr/'s new rules.

I’m 25 years old. Do I have enough time?

>>7477407
Run out? There are thousands and thousands of video games made from 1952 to 2006 or 7. Cant play all them in one life time

>>7477407
not if youre like me with a massive backlog and barely any time to play vidya
