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

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.
