NES, snes, genesis, neogeo, mame, ps1, n64, saturn, and dreamcast games are the quintessential zoomer /vr/ games. Yes, theyre old, but they're made for those with little patience and no desire to learn new things. They're instantly gratifying plug and play games any child from the smartphone and fortnite era can simply get into.
Atari 2600, 5200, colecovision, and other 2nd gen console games are for those who have developed a refined taste. Yes they're very simple to play, but they're all video games in their rawest form. Fortnite zoomers will be baffled by the purity and simplicity of their gameplay and graphics. Comparing 3rd gen consoles to their 2nd gen predecessors is like comparing happy meals tendies to tartare steak.
Commodore pet, apple ii, atari 8 bit, zx speccy, cpc, c64, atari st, and amiga games can only be enjoyed by the most patrician /vr/ chads. They provide the best of the best of the absolute best retro experience. They're far from instant gratification, they require a vast knowledge and understanding of video game and computing history to be fully enjoyable. They require great patience and exquisitely matured artistic sensibilities, as playing on the real hardware, with the classic floppy disk and cassette systems of our ancestors, brings the greatest enjoyment on itself. A stark difference from japanese consoles, of which emulation makes virtually no difference from playing on the real thing since they don't require more than half a brain to operate. A nintendie manchild will never understand the beauty of ZX Spectrum gaming. Thats like asking a brain damaged Marvel Cinematic Universe fan to watch the finest of Fellini's, Bunuel's, and Tarkovsky's kiñematography.
DOS games aren't retro.
