I’m thinking about the AVGN and how Nintendo makes you pay to play shitty emulator games from like 50 years ago.

Especially for the very old games like atari lol

    You can go and read the rest of the articles on that blog. There are a lot of them, going back years, and try to find the good games. They're few and far between.

    And with no internet, how were you supposed to know? The box promised jungle adventure with tigers and gorillas. Not hours of frustration.

      :astronaut-1: same with all pop culture. you remember the good movies/songs/whatever from eras past but not the garbage (which was most of it)

      But, that's not really what we're discussing. We're discussing playing retro games, today.

      You can look up reviews. You can look up 'best games from the year 1984'.

      I'm absolutely not saying 'games were better back then!!!!', I'm saying that the 'retro games' still offer some great games that were never topped, for various reasons (often because that had niche design choices that only appeal to a minority of gamers).

      I'm well aware that, as an average, retrogames were overly hard shovelware garbage. But there are still great games throughout those decades.
