I pretty much only play grey Gameboy Tetris these days. I keep wondering why they kept making games after this masterpiece.
Tetris on a serial terminal is enough for me
Feels weird to call it retro but I’ve been having a blast with Morrowind lately. 24 years old, so fits with the meme.
Retro is something new made to look old. Vintage is something actually old.
When is the last time you had that level of fun with a more recent game?
Most recent would be Elden Ring and its DLC but before that, it’s been a long time. Probably 360/PS3 era.
I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying “wow, great taste.” offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!
I never played Morrowind but I did love Neverwinter Nights + expansions + community mods (Penultima) to bits.
i started this recently on my channel. it’s a bit rough, but the openmw modpack helps a lot for someone who doesn’t have any nostalgia for it
Does it fix the rng for attacks landing
Yeah I’ve been running OpenMW too. I never played Morrowind when it was new, as a matter of fact the first time I ever booted it up was probably around 2018 or so. I think it was around the time the TES6 teaser trailer was published. I was late to the TES series, I mostly played Halo and stuff back then. Skyrim was my intro, then Oblivion, then Morrowind, then ESO. But Morrowind never clicked for me before, I tried it almost every year but this year is finally the time I’m having a ton of fun with it. No nostalgia for the game, so no rose tinted glasses, it’s a fantastic game.
I put it, Tamriel Revisted, and the Skyrim/Cyrodiil mods on my Steam Deck. Hundreds of hours of wandering around!
I haven’t tried modding Morrowind yet, outside of OpenMW, but my next playthrough I probably will.
It’s one of the greats. I’m about ready for a replay but I think I’m going to wait for Skywind. It’s close, I can feel it.
In many cases (not all) older music is better, too.
I pretty much only hear music from around 2004 -2014 played in public. I really couldn’t tell you most new music. I certainly remember 80s music being played in high school but it didn’t totally dominate like 2000s music still does
Why do I get the feeling they’re British
“Splendid”
Me: Haha, 20 year old games, huh? Like Super Mario Bros. and Megaman, right?
Them: Zelda Twilight Princess came out in 2006.
Me: (Benjamin Button gif)
We’re all Sanae on this day
The PS3, 360, and Wii are the 20 year old consoles now.
But I just got the 360. It’s the first console I got b/c I wanted to play Ace Combat 6…
FACK.
How about an awesome expansion to a 30something year old Zelda 2?
Im on the 3rd palace and it feels like an expansion, same gameplay. Its really good.
The explosion of expansions and general romhacks in the last decade has been beautiful. Not all of them are winners, but so many are. If gaming companies funded them and sold them, we’d be in a golden age. But we’re just suing the kiddies these days.
Seems reverse engineering games to then rewrite them to other platforms with AI is the new hobby.
It’s a little early to be this mean.
Were games even around 20 years ago? That seems like too much time not to be fake
Hate to break it to you, but 20 years ago was 2006. Almost 2007, not 1954
No, sweetie. Nothing existed until you were born. Then the world erupted in delights the like of which we had never seen.
Let me boot up this copy of SpaceWar! from 1962… Yep, it is real.
Also, the oldest STEAM account is now >20 years old.
Team Fortress 2 will be 20 years old next year.
you’re welcome
Oh, the new one? I only played the previous 😬
Only 20? Y’all are missing out!
That’s retro meme, must be near 20 years old also.
Mario Party DS lol.
Actually, basically the entire DS and PSP library is approaching that age.
I really gotta get a good PSP. It’s such a perfect mobile console for emulating.
Gears of War is a retro game by that logic as it did come out 20 years ago. Feels weird to say that.
With wow forever we’ve gone full circle
My backlog is long enough to last me 20 years on it’s own.
On top of old games I only just find out about and add to the pile. Still a few indie games I’m looking forward too but it isn’t going to kill my next year of gaming if one turns out to be a flop.
20 years old because you finished all the NES, Super NES, and MegaDrive games already?
I’m still ploughing away at the 2600. I’ll get that ET fucker out of that hole if it kills me.
Yep! Excited for that new PSP thing, can you believe youll be able to play ps1 games on the go??
No joke the PSP might be my favourite console of all time. It’s the only console I’ve owned multiple of…I’ve had 4 in total.
I got my main Red 3000 model back in 2016 for £20 already jailbroken with a bunch of roms already installed. Sadly the retro boom has skyrocketed the price, I’d just tell anyone nowadays to emulate it. PPSSPP runs on nearly everything.
The PSP was my smartphone before smartphones were a thing, all the neighbors with unsecured wifis right next to the school hated me.
Its a fun system. I have a 2000, but I don’t play on handhelds a whole lot. It still feels futuristic to me. Much more than anything that came after.
…20 years isn’t far enough. Oh no.
and the rest, the Wii turned 20 years old this year!
