  I thought of an era, not a specific game.

    Yeah, while my mind did go to GoldenEye, this really applied to NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and ps2, out of the systems I have/had.

    My wii u games are still playable, though they might try to connect to a server that no longer exists to look for updates. Similar with ps3 (though I think my system needs an overhaul because it’s running pretty slow these days, like many dropped frames in rock band 2 or even some in GH3).

    For the ps5, I’m not sure what will happen when Sony no longer wants to support it. I mostly have physical games, maybe I should try disconnecting the internet and see what happens if I try to fire up random games, both ones I’ve already played and ones that haven’t left their case yet.

    Anyways, I mostly thought of the era of the first paragraph, since the others have updates.

      It was a time of both plug and play simplicity, and head banging frustration. Consoles were dumb easy, and had to have a catalog that competed with the others. PC games were the wild west. Everything from it just works to eight disc setups, but not a single mainstream way to extract more money after the game had been sold. You could pop your ass on the couch and play the same game for 8 hours and still not do everything in it despite the lack of online capabilities. It was an era of mystery, is this article/friend/kid taking me for one? Or is Yoshi really there at the top of Peaches castle in Mario 64? If you’d never know if you or a friend didnt do it in front of you. Subscription was a thing but they seem modest by today’s standards. Zezima, Athena, and LeeroyJenkins were the names of our Gods.

        Oh man. Amen! Thank you for this awesome text. I’m just 26 years old, but I think this is the golden times. Not like, those are the best games or stuff, it’s just… I kinda feel like those were the good times. Even tho even then there was many shitty games. Probably even most of the games. It’s hard to describe this feeling. :/

  DK64. I see so much hate for it now, with people saying there are way too many collectibles, but those people fail to realize that back then most kids only had a few games that they just had to play over and over again if they wanted to play video games at all. To have a game that always had a new thing to collect even when you went to the same level for the 1000th time was a godsend.

    I gotta play it. Sadly as I grew older, those old FPS with low FoV give me motion sickness in like minutes. Can’t even enjoy Build Engine games anymore, which were my favorite old school games back then. :c

  While not my absolute favourite 2 player game, my friend and I sunk hours and hours into Champions of Norrath 1 and 2. We must have played new game+ like, 5 or 6 times. Loved it!

  (Most love probably goes to Street Fighter 2 on the Megadrive)

  Spyro the Dragon. Man I need to find the time to play through that entire stack of games again…

    The remake of the trilogy is pretty good, if you haven’t tried it.

      I have, and i loved every minute of it. 😁

  • mx_smith@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    At least with those games you had a collectible figure once the game was finished.

  Gotta agree here. That game was so much fun. Just remember the monkey assistant mode (don’t know what it was called in english, the german localization called it “Affiger Assistent” which translates to “monkey-like assistant” or “silly assistant”) in multiplayer!

    As a fellow German, I feel ya. The monkey was also my favorite char when playing pvp. lol

  Fuzion Frenzy even though it doesn’t really apply because it wasn’t really single player at all, it was only local co-op mini games like a Mario Party kinda (with no board.)

  Even though it doesn’t really match what the greentext is describing, the vibe of just, like, enjoying video games in your living room with no DLC nor microtransactions made me think of it. It’s a game that was, like, moderately successful but not enough that I ever run into people on the internet that know about it, so it almost feels like a kind of secret I share with my sister, and the game had strong art direction that was really early 2000s that hits me with nostalgia too.

    Okay that looks REALLY interesting. Thank you for sharing! Gotta share one thing: Bishi Bashi! PSX game that’s also a minigames collection. Pretty fun, quite high quality as far as I can tell. Haven’t found someone to play it atm. :c Still, looks fun af!
