I agree... Starting a topic about sega saturn, 3DO or any non nintnedo or sony console makes the thread sink faster than titanic on the list. One would be lucky to get 10 replies, let alone a good discussion going.

Or perhaps i's lucky to get 10 replies because people just don't care that much...

Majority yes...the 20 of us that do care cant really get a good discussion going.

Yup. That was one of the great things about the Legacy forum on NSider. The forum moved at a nice, digestable pace, without a lot of the nonsense that takes place on the larger forums.

I think this is a good idea. I'm all for discussing older games, particularly as they are far less likely to be as overly emotional as some of the discussions on newer games :p
