This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme

Every time i see it i have tears coming

I know, I started seeing it a lot after losing my cat recently, and it stings a bit. =(

Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged...poorly.

I started the pixel remaster of ff6 and I'm surprised how well it holds up

I first played FF6 when it was already retro(I was a Sega kid) and it bacame my favorite FF, even higher than 7 which holds huge nostalgic memories to me

I've actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.

There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It's worse than watching comedies from the 50s.

My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.

Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.

I don't know what you're talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.

Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that's how far I got in the game.

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don't have any patience left to try Dark Souls.

Monty on the run, can you hear the screenshot?

Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.

I'll let you go out in style.

You didn't need the attribution line. With just your quote we all heard it in our heads.

Last year I bought an original 8 bit Nintendo system with Super Mario and Tetris ... two games I grew up playing for hours and hours. I hadn't played them in years and I thought I should buy one just to have on hand because they'll probably disappear and become unavailable in the next decade or two (assuming I'll live that long ... lol)

I bring it out once in a while just to play it and get frustrated as I try to remember where, when and how to run and jump through level 8
