I’m thinking about the AVGN and how Nintendo makes you pay to play shitty emulator games from like 50 years ago.
Especially for the very old games like atari lol
You can go and read the rest of the articles on that blog. There are a lot of them, going back years, and try to find the good games. They’re few and far between.
And with no internet, how were you supposed to know? The box promised jungle adventure with tigers and gorillas. Not hours of frustration.
But, that’s not really what we’re discussing. We’re discussing playing retro games, today.
You can look up reviews. You can look up ‘best games from the year 1984’.
I’m absolutely not saying ‘games were better back then!!!’, I’m saying that the ‘retro games’ still offer some great games that were never topped, for various reasons (often because that had niche design choices that only appeal to a minority of gamers).
I’m well aware that, as an average, retrogames were overly hard shovelware garbage. But there are still great games throughout those decades.
shovelware garbage
If you are into that sort of thing, there is an entire Youtube channel dedicated to going through a CD of the Softkey 2000 Shareware Games collection week by week. It’s six years old and shows no signs of stopping. They’re about halfway through the CD by now.
