Over 40 and less into new games?

I owned a Sega Genesis and could handle that controller.  Three buttons and a directional pad.  Newer consoles had too many buttons for me, so I skipped them all until the Wii came out, which requires on most games, not too many button assignments.  I just don't have that skill, nor do I want to develop it because I can get my fix on the PC.  And I know how to use a keyboard and mouse.

Hmm... you just reminded me why I don't play online multiplayer games, and I didn't even know I needed reminding.  ;)


Useless Eater:

there is some decent games similar to 80's and 90's games at addictinggames.com, I recommend bowman, age of war 2 and danger dungeon there

Mid 30's here.  I've found that I tend to play fewer newer games not because the controls are different, but rather because they are the same games as yesteryear with updated presentation.  And I just can't be bothered to perform another PC upgrade or buy another new console for more of the same.

Plus I don't think older games were simpler.  Console games maybe, but not PC games.

FWIW, The only new games I've bought in the past couple years have been indie titles for the PC; most of which seem a throwback to older style games anyway.

Not very different from a sporting event. Or a bar in some cities.


I've never liked a lot of controls. I'll play Defender/Stargate now and then, and occasionally Mortal Kombat because I like the animation, but more than three buttons, sometimes more than two, and it's probably not a good game. I don't play anything.....mmm, except Hamster Ball....that's after '95.
