I keep their memories close by, in several hard drives, and frequently play them over my network...

We did a run of Secret of Evermore with the 2 player mod this december, was super fun. I love rpg's from that era.
So...go play them? yikes ...
So...you go play them too? Yikes ...
So... 4 player Mario kart then at my house? Yikes...
I still rock my Genesis. 😎 I brought it to Europe with me.
I got a Miyoo Mini very recently and have been playing a lot of games since. I can't put the thing down for long at all!
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.
Gdamn, had a recent talk about it...my sister remembers! It's so good when you do have someone to play it with as a child...
I know I can emulate, but there are times when I wish I still had my old Playstation. I left mine behind when I had to make a sudden break from an ex of mine about 20ish years ago. Somehow I ended up with a controller and the mouse, but I have no idea how they got separated from the system itself and ended up in my possession.
Hold up, the playstation had a mouse?
Yes, but not many games used it or supported it. I think mine came with the game Discworld or perhaps I bought it separately for that game, I don't recall.
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.
