Im bored out of my brains in my 3 month holiday off school waiting for my dad to return from work so I can get my new issue of PC Gamer and get a demo of Max Payne (I hope its on anyway). So I'm gonna think of a really really long topic that I can type about so it will make the time go a bit faster...
I think I'll type about Emulation or rather what I've realised becuse of emulation.
Recently I read a topic on emulation in one of these forums, and decided to find out what emulation was like. My first impression was how shocked Iwas that there were soooooo many emulatuion sites. It really shocked me.
I downloaded a Mega Drive emulator and downloaded some of my favourites. Theme Park, Micro Machines 2, Sonic 1,2,3, Sonic and Knuckles, Light Crusader, Mickey mouse and the castle of illusion. They were my fav I think.
When Sonic first loaded up and I heard the #SEGA# It was completely nostalgic, then I heard all the music that I remember from 10 years ago, and it was quite emotional, but when I started to play, I couldnt quite kick the feeling that it wasnt as good as it used to be. As I was playing Sonic I kept jumping on spikes and missing the baddies and hen getting hit by them, and losing all my rings and then losing a life. I was shocked. when I remember back, I never lost a life until I was at the labaryinth level, and I was under water. I didnt know how to react because it was so wierd that I was losing lives.
Then I kept getting game over, game over, game over. I was going insane. I never get game over on games anymore. I kept wanting to save my game, and you cant do that. and I realised that I couldnt play these game I had to uninstall them, I was getting too frustrated. So I uninstalled them.
Now I've been left thinking about the games that I used to play and the games I am playing now. I love the games now, so much, it's unbelievable. games now are much better than they were back then. I would say that games now are harder than back then definately. But the games are longer, games then were much much shorter, but alot easier, but I think that they are much more tense than today. we have the save game feature, they didnt. If you completed the final boss in games before, then you get a better sense of achievement than you do today, because you cant save just before the boss and therefore If you lost all your lives you have to sgtart again from the beggining.
I think I need to start to get to point. The point is that the games now are different to games then, but in my opinion they are much better today than then because I think that more thought is put into them. Sonic games were basically a lot of walkways for you to walk along and then different creatures to had to jump and hit. Not that hard. Games today have AI and your enemies seem to do more then look pretty.
I'm rambling again. games tyoday have alot more thought put into them and the games are more interesting and playable then before. So I think if games have come such a long way in ten years, think about how good games are going to be in another ten ears time. In 2011 I hope I remember this post , so I can think about how the games have improved!!
Ok that's it from me, I've wasted 2 mins writing this, so I am getting closer to when my dad'll get home!!!!!
seeeyas and happy gaming, now and in the future.

Thats very unfair! If you play games from 10 years ago then you have to expect them to be not as good as the games that are abut now, but they were great at the time.
I spent many an evening after school on sonic, streets of rage, and all those other classics, yet playing them recently dissapoints as they arent the mass fun i am currently used to. Its like driving a brand new car and getting all nostalgic over that beige fiesta you had when you passed your test. Drive the old banger again and you wont like it, cos youre now used to better.
