They just don't understand what growing up in the 80's was really like do they


try growing up in the 70s it was board games or nothing 

Why would you play NES when you could play Xbox the graphics are so much better.

I'm pretty sure the X-Box thing was a joke.
Anyhow, everytime I talk about older games here, I'm greeted with fondness and nostalgia from everyone.  Hell, I even sold a few of my games and extra NES' to people here.  I think people are beginning to see that the newer games just aren't as fun as the older ones are.

I agree,

I don't like playing a360 game,it's like a interactive movie,and has nothing to do with videogames in mine opion.
AND the GAMEPLAY in nes and snes games is far beter than with a360

Hey all, this is my first post here.

I don't try to understand why people insist 'retro' gamers need to move on - just because they've stopped making games for it doesn't mean a system is dead.  Would you never again read your favorite book because newer printing technology has been produced since then?

It's just that, as a generation we are aging - we were once the kids yearning to take over the world.  Give them all time, and they'll be just as jaded as the rest of the world over "progress."  If the NES never came along, or the generations before it, where would the industry be now?  Forever a sidenote in the history of electronic entertainment?

I suppose one thing rings true of every generation - there will always be people who like worthless crap, new or antiquated.  Whether or not we're those people is up to opinion.
