Yeah whenever I here PS2, etc...I'm just like wait what..retro?

What are you 10? Then I guess that would be retro to you.

I even feel iffy saying Genesis and Super Nintendo are retro!
But I think now in 2010 we can safely say that they are. But when you're talking about system that were out not even 5 years ago..that is by no way shape or form, retro.


I mean in this form Legacy Platforms, talking about those systems is cool because we have no where's else to talk about them..but when you want to put them in retrospect as calling them retro...that's just a little too much.

Not to be a jerk I just think these kids are little "halo" 13 year old nerd's when I hear them talk about PS2 and stuff like it's retro...I don't know why but that is what comes to mind haha

[QUOTE="xaos"] But with there being so many other sites that already offer that, what is so special about Gamespot that you want to try to change this place rather than use one of the others?xaos

[QUOTE="xaos"]Well, if the TOS went out the window, I'd probably shortly follow suit. there are about 5 billion sites around where people can go to post swears, porn, and various hate-filled drivel. I, for one, appreciate quite a bit a more restrained environment. Besides, I enjoy the challenge of being filthy and lewd without violating the TOS.xaos

I'm just getting a kick of people calling systems like PS2,XBOX and GC...retro?

Come on people.


Get educated , there is more to life then the "big 3" companies.


Go pick up a Neo Geo and get the Metal Slug games dude and thank me later.

Also to add to that, it's rather funny because I live in Syracuse, NY ... we have a pretty large mall here and each time I go to the mall that once in a blue moon to go shopping I always tend to go to their arcade they have there where it's some d-bag behind the counter that doesn't even care about videogames working and they always have that one Galaga machine or Pac-Man/Donkey Kong machine in there and the rest is just all flash and color and "ticket" machines...they do have the new Time Crisis game which is very good but they want 4 quaters a pop!.....way too much.

I always get sad because I see a lot of younger people in there playing all these garbage games and that is going to be there memory of a "arcade" and it's a shame they will never get to know what a real one with REAL games use to be.
The real arcade machines if any, always seem to be hidden in some weird conrner of the place and are either A: never on or B:are not maintained and look like they are about to die at any minute.
It just goes to show the respect these places have for the machines that helped start it all or that were truely groundbraking in their time.

the modern day arcade is a pile of you know what.

I miss the "glory days" of arcades, not the mess you see nowadays. Now almost every arcade is filled with ticket winning games, lame. I remember once going into an arcade and seeing a line just to play Tekken Tag or any big fighting game. You don't see that any more :( Luckily, where I live there's still an arcade that has some of the goodies. Ninja Turtles (4 players!), The Simpsons (4 players!), Xmen (6!!) and a lot of good fighting games and shooting games.
