Has anyone here ever wondered why you can't get the old classic games like "Monkey Island", "King's Quest" and the original "Prince of Persia"? They've been around, what, ten to fifteen years at the most? Stuff like books or movies seem to improve over age, but games seem to get forgotten. So, I ask you, in this age of 3D graphics, Windows XP and Linux, Pentium 4 Processors and so on and so forth, is there room for the good old days? And how long do the games we're raging about now, like Half-Life and Final Fantasy, have left?
Oh, by the way, some of the old adventure games are EXCELLENT, yet the genre's dead. Consider that.
And I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy VII again.
For like the 7th time.
