Best decade of gaming

Yet those older games were actually fun to replay. None of those up there did I ever entertain the thought to ever play them again after finishing them. And 'finishing' those 100+ hour games usually leads to playing until you get bored of it. I very much disagree that gaming is massively better now. It's pretty rare nowadays when I feel like starting another play through. The new God of War, didn't finish, too much crap. Older GoW games, played several times and enjoyed every play through. More is not necessarily better, often it's worse. The big problem with open world games is you do all the fun stuff first, then you are left over with the work to finish the game :/

Plenty long games on PS1 as well, but not bloated with open world repetition. And the best things: No online multiplayer, play with friends locally in split screen. No MTX, no season passes, no limited time content, no buggy mess at release, no spoilers everywhere, no You Tube / Twitter / TikTok nonsense.

Btw Might and Magic 3 came out for PC, Mac, Amiga, Sega CD, TurboGrafx-CD and SNES, but yeah after that just PC and Mac.

Ahh the Amiga, good times and slightly nightmarish ones <3

I still know an artist in the Fur community that to this day is still using Amiga (His work was even featured way back in their 1992 & 1994 edition of the  Amiga magazines).

Also I feel the same way when it comes to the latest games these days. I always try booting one of them up, don't feel the spark, and go back to older games like C&C or heck, even Monkey Island (since the new Monkey island content is out now for SoT and that's about the only AAA game I'm playing with friends atm that I feel something of a spark).
