--- Quote from: Nailz on November 30, 2005, 02:10:43 am ---I think it depends on the age... My 15 year old stepson, thinks they all suck because the graphics are bad and don't match todays standard. He's been spoiled by X-Box, and Playstation, and PC games. --- End quote --- Get rid of him. He's broken. While I don't have children of my own, I can say that I love oldschool games and am only thirteen. Although for some reason, I can't really get into NES stuff. It's the SNES games(as well as genesis and other games of that general timeframe) that really suck me in. Probably because that's what I grew up with(didn't get an N64 until that 99 dollar one with the purple controller was released). |

Im 32 now, and I have a friend that is 26. Ive tried to get him into classics, and for the most part failed. Hes more into the new consoles and 1st person shooter crud. However, I made him play Robotron (free credits from my pocket!) with me at a local shop that has many classics. At first, he was upset cause he was so terrible at it... and of course, he thought the graphics were crap. Yet next time we were there... I gave him some more credits to play with me again.. but this time, I could see him getting into it. He started to get much better, and started to like it. After another visit, he was hooked. He eventaully got up to arround level 30 (on easy dip setting - which is still hard as hell to do), beating me. Ive also managed to get him into the game 'Two Tigers'. Other than that, he too stubborn. He just cant get past the older graphics look. Also, the difficulty in the games pisses him off. Todays younger gamers seem to want games that are like controllable movies. You can do anything you want, and hardly get a scratch. Many games, they play on a 'god mode' so theres no challenge at all period. |

No there's this 18 year old kid I work with who scoffed at the idea of playing pacman and such until I brought my laptop in and started playng. He realized it was cooler than he thought 8) |
