Dude purple are still checking out ps4 games at the library. Old and good are not mutually exclusive. Usually we only remember the good old stuff. Music, movies, books, you name it

    True. Yet when I tried to replay games I have the fondest of memories of, it often is just 99% nostalgia. Seeing all the flaws, the horrible ui, the missing QoL we just expect nowadays l etc. I don't care much for gfx, but it's hard to really get into those again. Music, yeah sure. Good music does not age. Movies...depends. Some age horribly 😁 For books I rarely find time, but they're timeless too.

    our imaginations were doing a lot more than we gave them credit for with some of those old ones.

    we liked writing lyrics to the mario brothers songs though. Mario Brothers 3 had "I am roy! The sailor boy! My life here is a joy! / I am roy! The sailor boy! My life here is a joy! / I like to eat rice (and cake) [repeated until you get back to I am Roy the sailor boy]" is probably the only one i remember

    True that. I even enjoyed pong. 8 pixels, 3 of them moving 😁

    As the Atari was my last console, I never played a single Mario or Zelda...I have to admit that 😊

    Nope. On wifey switch she has breath of the wild. Would've loved to play this (probably) but it's controller-only and I horribly suck with those. Only non-time-critical and no reaction-based games are okay-ish. I never understood how people can be pretty good in competitive fps with those things and watch those with awe.

    I went from joystick to m+k. This is so wired in my brain, I never catched up with controllers.

    So there's not much motivation to emulate 😑

    yeah i only do turn based games on emulation. i'm a quarter of the way through Xenogears (at the Aveh tournament, with the high speed text cheat on) on duckstation on my phone. i won't pressure you, just if you want to know some of my favorites i probably have a list somewhere

    Hehe, sure. Although my backlog is currently at 350 titles I really wanna play. The scarcity of the 80s and 99s really had its benefits...

    just look up a list of the best playstation 1, snes, and genesis RPGs and cross off anything that looks shitty to you. You're not allowed to cross off any of the final fantasies until you've played chrono trigger, which is uncrossoutable. yeah i'm sure that's a word.

    But dude...those are pretty reaction-happy, and with a controller I barely manage walking reliably. Unless the emulators can do controller=>m+k-conversion, my frustration-tolerance would be tested tremendouly :-) But hey, i at least played FF-online on PC, if that counts a lil

    oh yeah, i played them all on a laptop. there are a lot of turn based ones rather than twitchy ones. esdf for the d-pad, jkui for the xaby, h for L, L for R, and i think i put start and select on < and > too. not much use for the mouse besides mariopaint

    Turn based is fine with a controller. Not my favourite but manageable. Worth a shot I guess
