Having recently had the opportunity to play so-called classic "old" games like OUT-RUN, AFTERBURNER, HANG-ON & SPACE HARRIER courtesy of the amazing Shenmue II - all I can say is this: thank God modern games don't play as badly as these games do. Seriously, they are awful!

Nostalgia. That's all it is. If you actually play them, boredom usually sets in after 2 minutes.

damn you retro-hating freak.

the golden age rules.

pick-up-and-play games by the bucket load.
and even more consoles than that.

oh, sweet joy.

but, then again, no modern games.

*boo-hoo-hoo*

isn't there some parallel universe where old and new exist together in harmony?

let me go!

Some old games have always stunk, with unimaginative platform games attempting to copy the mario/sonic mould but failing miserably, but hey there were some good old games like bobble and bubble.

Yes, but back in their time, they were brilliant games.

I am planning on playing Shenmue 2 soon, and I really want to have a crack on Outrun. I haven't played it for so long.
That and the arm wrestling, which I did get a quick go on, and if you don't time it right, you lose very quickly.
