Are some games too fast or am I too old?

The first one had a good psvr mission.
Still need to finish up Rogue Squadron or whatever the VR one was.
Ginger Jedi still taunts me.
Been some good Star Wars games lately, to be honest.

I just started playing Battlefront II on the original XBOX. Graphics aside, that is a really good game. I wasn't gaming much due to life/work/family in my mid 30s around 2004/2005 so I missed many of the late games on the PS2 and XBOX. There are some real gems in that era.

I will miss turns more frequently now when I play at home with a 4 way WICO leaf with little use. It was NOS a few years ago and it's still a pretty tight joystick.
I just played Ms. Pac-Man at a barcade and it had a happ anniversary stick in it. I had no issues with that stick, which was also well broke in, and felt easy to play the way I used to play when I was a kid.
So.... the hardware definitely has to be factored in.

It depends, my reflexes are about the same. I am at the same lame level I can't get past, same as the 80's.
As for today's kids, my buddies' kids were way into xbox when it came out. Up 2 hours before school to play into it.
They were going nuts with 10 button and 3 sticks, and I told them we only had 1 stick and one button, and that was sometimes. -
They laughed.
Short while later, I fired up Donkey Kong for the 15-button combo xbox kids.... It took them an hour to get to the second level... :)
