Most of the best games I’ve played have been classic games, evn ones I hadn’t played before.

For me games like MGS (the one for PS1) or Monkey Island were some of those games. Yeah, the graphich are pretty bad and all, but they are still great games.
I think it is great that they are making reboots of old games (Monkey island 1 & 2), imagine if you had a game like Chrono Trigger reboot or KOTOR (hell yeah!) with HD graphics, voice acting, cool new cinematics and so on…. it would be a blast, wouldn’t it?!?!?!

Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean. My 360 has spoiled me to the point where I can barely even play the games that I used to love anymore, like the Max Paynes or Grand Theft Autos. I never graphics would be so important to me, but here I am.

I played it for the first time, because it’s kinda hard to get here in europe since there’s no PAL version. But a friend gave me her ntsc version with an adapter. I loved the game. Innovative story, adorable characters, great 2D graphics. Generally I think good 2D graphics back then are still good today, while old 3D graphics are hardly bearable.
I also love retro style games like VVVVVV or the bit.trip games.

I had never played Ocarina of Time, and I love the zelda games. I found an n64 and a bunch of games I’d never played before, and I’m absolutely loving Ocarina.

One of the finest video game experiences I have ever had was Wind Waker. The graphics were like playing a cartoon; irresistible style. Those graphics went beyond good, to great. And, I can still play that game today; a truly great video game is timeless.

Part of the problem with PoP was that game mechanics have improved so much that playing a specific skill game like that just kind of underwhelmed me. Shadow of the Colossus is more about atmosphere, story, and overall design (with relatively simple mechanics), which I think helped it stand up to the problems of aging better.

After a particularly ill-advised bout of Ecstasy abuse, I found myself playing the game. There was a particular jump in a water-filled lake that I could not pull off, no matter how much I tried, because I was, well, destroyed at the time.

Five hours later my friends woke up to find me still trying to complete that jump and laughing their asses off at me. The whole night I’d spent just trying to get that jump off, but I’d not noticed the time going because of the drugs and the fact that the game is amazing.

Retro-gaming can be immense fun when you’re older. I just got myself FF8 and 9 and am having a blast with both, as well as having a rip on the original C&C and Red Alert. Fun games to play and even though they look graphically like shit, they’re still great games
