Before '06? Oh mah lawd have I gotten old! I still almost look at 2000s stuff as "modern" or at least quasi modern heh. I basically started with NES Mario/Duck Hunt when I was like 5.
But yeah in many ways I actually prefer them, especially when playing with friends and family. Usually SNES (and bit of Genesis) is my go-to solo or with one other player. With multiple people it's N64 or I guess Wii if that counts. Retro games just feel more pure to me, more soul and character, more cutting to the point, more action and depth without the fluff.
