I'm old fart, so I've never played games that are older than me!

How about you? Have you ever played games that are actually older than you, and lauched way before you were even born?

And if you have, how did it feel???

Also, how does it feel to play remasters/remakes of games where the original game is older than you?

Sure thing, Super Mario Bros 3 is a year older than I am and it's one of the best 2D platformers ever made.

Born in 86, played a bunch of Atari games most before then.

In fact the original Super Mario was made a year before I was born and possibly a few other NES classics.

Yes. Just over my mid-twenties, so many games from the 80's and 90's outage me.

Yep, I love playing Frogger, and BurgerTime, and the original Super Mario Bros. which are all older than me.

The original Super Mario Bros and Pac Man. I'm pretty sure Tetris outages me as well. Born in 88

Not really. It's only really the old Atari and arcade classics like pacman and stuff that are older than me.

Well, that explains your opinions around the boards; you're just a kid with a big mouth! (so, not someone who should be taken seriously...)

No, I don’t think so. I’m 48 so there are probably pretty few games that are older then me.

Born 1980 so not really. I'd like to try getting into Defender, though.

Definitely. It's interesting sometimes to look back and see how long before or after my birthday this or that game was released. I know in all actuality many games that came out a year or two after I was born were likely already in production before me.

I usually become most interested reading about the earliest RPG video games. It's cool to see the transition between from tabletop to the screen.

Probably Pong comes to mind and anything from that era before my time.

Well, that explains your opinions around the boards; you're just a kid with a big mouth! (so, not someone who should be taken seriously...)

And we could say the same for you Henry who already has gotten 2 strikes for all that trolling BS you did. I rethink that statement before you open that big mouth you have their.

Remember, 1 more strike and you're done! RSM-HQ is respected here because he shares some valuable opinions when it comes to games.

*Pardon the late response. I was busy playing Bloodstained: RotN early. It's something Backers have right now (on PS4, I've read P.C. and Switch was slightly delayed)

Well, you are certainly a fine example of lacking any serious gaming conversation Hen.

Let me know when you can chat about a non-sandbox/ story heavy game with actual context about the gaming mechanics. . It would certainly make for a more interesting conversation to us all.
