why do you like old school games?

[alexis]

i don´t really se the funny thing in most of them, mmmm, is it maybe because you have been playing since they were released and when they were released they absolutely rocked compared to ghe games before? Even more interesting is any young guy who actually enjoy playing old school games?

[ME!]

well, yah, most young people today, who are just getting into video games, havent had the opportunity to get to know these classic games. guys like myself on the other hand, old geezers, grew up playing titles like, pac-man, ghosts n' goblins, cruisin usa, etc. the list goes on an on and on. besides reasons of nastalgia, one thing is that you cannot improve on these games. many people have tried, but they havent quite gotten it. i say, THANK GOD FOR EMULATION! because if we didnt have it, im sure these games would one day be lost forever. most arcades, in my area anyway, dont even carry them anymore. its sad.

Myself, and the old, old age of 24 Love many old games.. and i'm very lucky to have arcades nearby that have some of them..

 

The college nearest me has Ms Pac Man, and the Mall Of America, last time I was there, had Galaga and Pole Position II

The oldest stuff i used to play was like atari 2600 and zx spectrum.

F1 pole postion on the atari was awsome as well as centipede.

On the zx well there are countless classics on that old beats skool daze anad batty to name a few.
