I am in a rut. Venting.
So I have this overwhelming desire sometimes to want go back and play some older games.
Thing is the only way to play them is by having older consoles.
Thing is those broke.
Thing is I have no money to buy the old consoles to play those old games.
Thing is I just want them backwards compatible!
But that requires Msoft getting the license to do it and some team they have to make sure it works.
Thing is these are also obscure games!
Gah! Losing my mind!

4 RepliesI recently found the fan emulators of the Escape Velocity games, gave me such a nostalgia [redacted] Can't beat the feeling of playing those old gems you discovered by accident back in the day. Gaming sure has changed- now I feel old.

3 RepliesI know the feeling haha. I could list you at least a dozen games that I would love to play but they just aren’t ported to new consoles or they’re far too difficult to make work on a PC for one reason or another. It is irritating, and if us gamers had our way every game would carry over from one generation to the next, so we could just keep playing the same games forever and ever on better and more powerful tech. The other year I got a pang for the old PlayStation games I used to play. My friend was throwing out his old modded PS2 at the time, so I asked to have it along with the 50+ games he’d accumulated over the years, and I sat down with it for a weekend. Oddworld: Abe’s Exodus, Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, The second and third Lord Of The Rings movie tie-ins, Destroy All Humans! 2, Quake 2, Star Wars Episode 1, Tomb Raider 3, the list goes on… but that’s all it was, a weekend. I didn’t play them all the way through, in fact I was a little surprised at how badly some of them had aged. Awkward controls, bad graphics; what I once thought cutting edge seemed dated like hell and some of the magic seemed to have fallen away. Destroy All Humans! 2 was the first game I ever bought on release. I paid my mum to pre-order it through amazon for me and I was the most excited person in the whole world when it flopped through the doormat. It’s a very vivid memory for me. I played it for months and months and months as a teenager, but playing it that weekend, something had changed. I don’t want to play it again unless (or until) it gets put on a new console, because frankly the experience was a little gut-wrenching.
