Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer
Chezus9247@lemmy.world 15 hours agoOh 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. :/

The games are still there. Nintendo may cost an arm and a leg now but it kinda did then too and Zelda still never asks where your season pass is. Some games are the classic games in disguise like Flock Around is just Pokemon Snap without rails. Theres this game called Star Garden thats Kirby Air Ride with a Chao Garden thrown in. Cassette Beasts is Steam Pokemon. I host my own Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 server. Its all still there and still being made. The golden era never ended, its just the giants aren’t peddling it anymore and the river is so wide it can be a chore to wade. But, have you slain Olga Flow in the depths of the world? Or repelled the second coming of Orochi with a stroke of your celestial brush? Or discovered the mystery behind what happened to Darth Revan? Theres thousands of hours of games to get through before the modern era. Vimm’s lair has 1/4th of it. Kindle your soul and keep the age of fire burning a little longer.
