I don’t know what you’re talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
!
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that’s how far I got in the game.
Last year I bought an original 8 bit Nintendo system with Super Mario and Tetris … two games I grew up playing for hours and hours. I hadn’t played them in years and I thought I should buy one just to have on hand because they’ll probably disappear and become unavailable in the next decade or two (assuming I’ll live that long … lol)
I bring it out once in a while just to play it and get frustrated as I try to remember where, when and how to run and jump through level 8

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.
I’m playing through Jade Cocoon right now. These games aren’t dead.
That game was so cool! So many wild combinations of monsters to make, such a neat setting
Is that Lain?
Yes.
We still talk about how many of your cartridges got buried in a landfill.
Yeah nintendo still sues communities trying to port oot to a more modern engine xD.

POWER UP!
AH AH AH AH!
Amiga I still love you
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.
I’ll let you go out in style.
Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged…poorly.
I started the pixel remaster of ff6 and I’m surprised how well it holds up
I first played FF6 when it was already retro(I was a Sega kid) and it bacame my favorite FF, even higher than 7 which holds huge nostalgic memories to me
I’ve actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.
There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It’s worse than watching comedies from the 50s.
My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora’s mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.
I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.

OWOOOOOOooo
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.
