This one makes me sad as a lover of retro computing and games :sadness:
It's hard to tell. European computers from the 8-bit era can be extremely rare
They don't know this themselves, but they hate old games because it invalidates the consumerist urge to always obtain the very newest realease. It averts the eyes away from the trough; the cardinal sin under consumerism.
:so-true: I'VE OCTUPLE DIPPED ON THIS GAME ON EVERY PLATFORM
I've paid for Dead Cells on multiple platforms but that's about it
Okay not to disrupt the circlejerk but I have never heard of gamers having an issue with older games.
Are you sure you're not just making up a guy to get mad at?
I hear dismissiveness toward old games, which sometimes manifests as "lol why u care about that old shit," but never outright anger. It's just a dumb thing like in every medium.
consumerist urge to always obtain the very newest realease
:hahaha: Mfw I buy new, hyped up games around 5-6 years after they're out on a discount of about 70-80%
I love old games, Doom 2 > new Doom (I will fight anyone on this!), and the old MSX keyboard + tape deck games were rockin'!
A lot of those guys like to yell at anyone who would ever consider downloading a rom of a game. They’ll shout that it hurts the game devs, even after you remind them the game came out 20 years ago and devs don’t earn royalties.
i mean, how else would they justify their pcmasterrace shtick and their $10000 dual graphics card setup
Really love documentaries on the subject and how there was a lot of quirky DOS era games, especially out of France and Germany from their punk leftist scenes.
Sometimes they can be perpendicular.
this is what makes them strong
Idk bro I kinda like weird private museums that are just some dorks basement
pfft look at this non-gamer here, everyone knows if your basement looked like this back in the day you were hardcore and posting your score in Rogue to a BBS.
I refuse to believe Rogue was a real game or ever popular
No one knew what the fuck Rogue was in the 90's, nothing about it was iconic or memorable but 20 years later every damn indie game is a 'roguelike' or 'roguelite'
I'm not just saying this as someone who grew up playing consoles, no PC gamers said a single word about Rogue in the 90's, the game was forgotten and irrelevant
So I'm calling this Rogue revival what it is, gaslighting
As far as I know Rogue did fairly well on it's home PC port, where it really got popular and inspired a genre though was on I think unix mainframes, people played it at college campuses and universities in the late 70's into 80's. The much more popular game in the Rogue lineage is for sure Nethack. People just started calling that genre of gaming roguelike because of the original game, no matter how good or bad it was. Rogue is too hard and too bare bones for modern gaming standards, but back then it was something else. It was the closet people could come to playing a virtual game of Dungeons & Dragons.

Okay Im gonna say it of course the G*mer museum is in mariupol
:heated-gamer-moment:
To balance this out, there is another retro-game museum on the Karl-Marx Allee in Berlin :only-good-gamer:
actually I read on ASB members of Azov were spotted carrying mysterious boxes into this building before it blew up 👁️
The items destoryed are like 50 year old consumer goods. The building they were housed in was probably older
