Welcome all

Ok, now that the corn is out of the stalk, let's get to what this thread is all about. This thread can be used by the community to discuss games of yesteryear. Below, you will find some ground rules:

Awesome!!!! I really wanted a retro game thread!! I'll definitely be checking this one out frequently.

I love Final Fantasy 8.

This game is bae:

I normally hate when people say this kind of thing but I'm starting to feel it a bit. Anybody else feel like gaming has peaked? I'm not going as far as the people who say "Music is complete garbage today, no more true musicians" by any means. Games still tend to be great & I can enjoy them quite a bit. It's just that, they don't surprise me or capture my full attention like before.

It's probably just a mix of nostalgia and me no longer being a kid

Nah. I get the feeling at times, but then something comes along and surprises me yet again.

I look forward to seeing you around

Would you say Persona 4 is the best Persona? 

True. It can still happen, it has become a rarity for me though. I don't even finish most games today unfortunately. Also, I've seemingly reached that age when you get a group of friends together and play an older game over a new release. (such as Melee or something)

I can't beat the pixel-art boss that turns into a baby, and I don't want to grind anymore. I'm stuck. :(

Also, this is pure gaming gold. Why isn't this on every system ever released? Zero 4 is already an absolute masterpiece, let alone the whole series.

Re-release it everywhere Capcom!

If anything it is more of a slump caused by over inflated budgets and corporate greed.
