Why do people play those things. It's clearly just a test how dumb we all are, and we're seemingly failing it. People do play it. Things like that should net a total global sales of 3 or 4 and then be taken down a few days after release. But no.
I want 80s gaming back, with modern tech and stuff.
I feel you. I pretty much exclusively play 80s and 90s games.
You want some fun that is modern, somehow ancient, and beautiful? Oh, and challenging, but if you persist it is very rewarding?
Cuphead. I fucking love that game. I play it and replay it and play it some more. I have waaaaaay too many hours in that game on Steam and on Switch. I think it’s the only game I ever got all achievements on.
I want all that, minus "challenging" :-) Those times are over for me. There are tooooooo many games I like and I don't wanna waste it anymore with trying to git-gud for weeks. I got lazy over the years and now seek different stuff.
Sadly the 80s and 90s games i have so fond memories of, I couldn't bear to play nowadays. It's like some dream-cars of mine which i would never actually drive because I'm also a nerd and love the tech-gimmicks. And I don't wanna manually roll down a window. Same with games. Good for you you still love them, that would be awesome :-) Only game I ever actually 100%ed (willingly) was Witcher3. Damn, I'm totally not the gamer i was 3 or 4 decades ago :-)
Core Keeper.
Already playing since it came out. Great game! Thanks anyway!
I just bought a CRT for my retro consoles. Its the best money I've spent in a long time.
A crt?? Whyyyyy? That is the thing i absolutely miss the least 😁
A CRT for gaming allows for the least amount of input lag. Not only that but playing retro games on a CRT just feels right.
Oh boy, i was so happy when the first lcd surfaced. No more 2-people-to-carry and radiation of my eyes. No amount of nostalgia (i started with green monitors) will ever make me go back 😁
