Retro games
« on: January 16, 2024, 04:48:21 pm »
In recent years, I have been quite involved in the topic of retro games, understood as games released for the NES, SNES, GBA and Sega Genesis consoles (PS1 or N64 consoles are of course also a retro topic, but often as individual sections).
I have always been very impressed by the ingenuity of their creators who had to make up for the lack of graphics (especially NES).
Do you like the simplicity of old games?

Thing that intrigue me is that on old system you had direct access to hardware. No operating system, drivers, libraries. You one on one with hardware.
Probably at some point I will buy for my self 8bit computers like Commander X16 (modern clone of Commodore 64) or other similar one.

About old micro\home computers I'm very impressed that people are still creating new games for them, or new versions of games that weren't released on them in the old days.
People sometimes say that the days of that equipment are gone, when in fact, now a person can have any old computer or console with everything without any major difficulties.
If person can still enjoy it  ;D
