So instead of bitching about modern video games, why doesn't everybody just find all the games they missed growing up?
I'm playing through the Wario Land (and World) series for the first time. I've only ever played through about half of 3 when I was a kid. What golden oldies are you all playing?
I know there's an emulation thread, but nobody wants to talk about video games in there.

Spelunker II for the NES/Famicom. What the fuck were they thinking? This game is hard as fuck and i don't even know where to go. You can also go to hell if you kill too many animals
Might have to define "retro" in terms of the thread. Not that I want to start an argument on it, just that I've been on a bit of a PS2 binge lately (first got one some years back and am still getting around to playing stuff for the first time), and I'm not sure if this would be the sort of place for discussing it, given how divided people tend to be on where sixth gen exactly fits.
1999 or before is retro.
Really, anything that's at least 10 years old. If it can't really be called "modern", it's retro enough for me. I was going to title the thread "games you missed out on when they came out, but are playing now that everybody else has forgotten about them", but I couldn't think of a good short way to convey that.
Really, why complain about how shit most games are now when there's a wealth of unplayed treasure you may have never touched?
You are a mad man, I played that game for a whole day and got no where.
Even though we have a /vr/ board which gets no love. I went back and played Final Fantasy 2 and 3 for the nes. If you get the bug fix in 2 and learn the mechanics and rng it can be a pretty good game. 3 is insanely underrated for how grand of a game it is. I mean within 2 hours you are smashing a ship into a mountain. The end game dungeon side quest has you fighting all the legendary monsters of old. Good stuff.
Thanks to the Sega Genesis Retroarch "Virtual Console" created for the 3DS, I'm playing Shadow Dancer on the comfiest mode possible
Because the truth is, most people here completely grew out of video games.
Their mind is now so fucked that when they go back to games they used to love they find SOMETHING they didn't notice before that triggers the fuck out of them, and they drop the game.
Or they go on the developer's twitter and find something that triggers them, and bam, now any game made by them that they enjoyed in the past is now shit.
Or they don't have the attention span anymore to sit down and sit trough boring parts or to keep playing after they die once, and they quit the game.
So every fucking day they come here and make "I WISH GAMING WAS GOOD AGAIN" and "TFW DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANY VIDYA ANYMORE" every fucking day.
And the only thing left for them, to only real video game they have left, is Holla Forums itself.
Shitting on games becomes the new video game, shitposting and getting replies gives them instant gratification, every (you) gives them a small joilt of endorphin, just like how they used to have back when they actually played video games.
Why do you think /vr/ is so dead and threads that AREN'T about shitting on video games 404, while threads that are about shitting on something get 500 fucking replies in 2 minutes?
Because of that driveby shitpost, that sweet, sweet (you) of someone getting mad.
Video games can't compete to Holla Forums.
Holla Forums is the only video game you've got left.
Great games, especially Wario Land 1, great atmosphere/music too.
