I've blogged about another downfall of super-realistic visuals before. Thought I'd repost it here, as it seemed appropriate. Vintage Appeal You know what I like about old games? They still require some imagination. With the games of today (which I do still enjoy mind you), you know exactly what you're looking at. You don't have do a whole lot of pretending to find yourself in the environment that your character is in. In the old days, you needed your imagination to fill in the textures, and character emotions, and combat movements. A few blocks on a screen isn't going to be all that visually descriptive. So in a way, it's the best kind of character creator tool. It's the best at making the world you're exploring the scariest, most colourful, or most intense place you've been.
More often then not I stop at least every hour. Mostly because I rarely have the luxury of being able to play for more then an hour before I have to tend to other matters.
you have never got a free game before, not even for a gift? Oh sure, but I've never run into a circumstance where I don't think I should open it. And almost exclusively, the gift games I get are ones I asked for, so I'm gonna wanna play it.
I'm pretty good. They're always in their cases, and neatly in order on the shelf when not in use. I think what highlights it the most, is the fact that I still have the original boxes for all my NES games. I remember my friends, always losing the boxes, and only keeping the plastic case.
