But honestly sometimes I wish I was like 37, so I could experience the SNES/Genesis, PS1/N64, and the 6th gen. Not necessarily to become crabby or hate on modern gaming or to play "De best gamus evar!!!" but just to have more perspective on gaming as a whole. That being said, Xbox 360. |
Well as someone who played those systems, there is something to be said about experiencing certain games for the first time, like Mario 64 and Zelda OOT. I realize that those games don't hold up today as well as back in the day, and especially when you take into consideration how amazing it was to see those games in 3D for the first time, when previously you only saw them in 2D. That can probably not be appreciated by people today who started off with 3D gaming.
That said, I'm sure there are some games from the later console generations that "newer" players enjoyed in a different way than I did because it was their first experience with certain concepts, that for me were more familiar.

Yep, it's sad really! I wish I could have everyone's perspective D : But mostly the 4th-6th gen one, just cause of all the revolutions.
There were games that blew my mind, but again most of these are games who's franchises started way earlier. So that affect wouldn't be lost on older generations.
I have played 3 N64 titles, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Banjo Kazooie. The last two are some of my favorite games. The former is very overrated but still good.
