Do you like classics?

[Commando]

I am big into classics.

I guess it depends on when you started gaimng. If your a "younger gamer" and started with the new systems then I guess the old games would seem borish and dumb. It's kinda like movies. The old drama just comes across as stale nowadays. The sarcasm wasnt the same, and overall storytelling techniques are much quicker nowdays. There is a psycological difference in people who view movies nowdays as opposed to back then.
Anyways, yeah I think people like me who played those games back in the day and still cherish their libraries are always going to hold the classics in a greater standard than the new. One of the ways I prefer the original Legend of Zelda, to the new ones. Metroid as well. (*note never beat Super Metroid, will Wii it eventually), is the fact that the playability was much more open ended. You could beat the boss with whatever strategy YOU came up with. You could skip areas or run through others , there were only a couple key item necissary for beating the game. New games don't do that. You have to sit and watch it, like its a movie, and newer versions are like taking piano lessons, now you hit the wrong button, start over, do this, THEN that. NO, it must be done this way. Go back, bend over, cough. So in that respect I'd much rather fire up my NES rather than play Wind waker. Hope that helps to give you some insight, good thread.
