    Default I feel more like a Retro Gamer

    What about you guys? I've honestly been playing more GBA, PSX, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS2 and N64 games in the last year than I have any this gen stuff.

    It seems like a lot of games traded pretty graphics for a soul! Sold their soul! Man! But no seriously....And like most JRPGs that hit NA shores now are 2D dating sims. WTF happened? I think the world is slowly hentai-ing itself to death.

    I also feel weird going into Gamestop and buying PS2 games. People give me that look. You know the look? The look like there's a fat man in a thong dancing on my face. But eh I love going through the 2$ to 5$ bin and finding something to play....Awesomeness.

    Meh stop making me feel old by calling those systems retro...

    My childhood days were spent playing NES games like Double Dragon and later on it was the SNES and SEGA Genesis.

    If you were talking about the Intellivision then maybe I would agree with you on retro gaming.

    The systems you mentioned are not that old.

    It's just as ridiculous as including 80s rock into the classic rock genre.

    Well they are old! And hell becoming older means you're becoming wiser!

    Wiser Irony. But yeah I'm gonna be retro gaming into my 40s. Then when virtual reality comes around I will play as a girl char in anime mmorpgs. Set for life. I'll die, my brain fried from playing too much.

    But yeah gaming hasn't been around as long as rock has. I don't get the analogy too well.
    Video games have been around for about 40 years so it's pretty old.
    Although the first video game was in the 60s I think....or maybe it was the late 50s.

    Rock only started to really develop in the 1960s so it's pretty close to video game age but it has early roots in the 40s and 50s.

    Although you can say video games have earlier roots too.

    And getting older just means you have had more time to make more mistakes so you can yell at other people for making those same mistakes.
