@cejay0813: I used to play a shit ton of TMNT The Manhattan Project

@Renegade_Fury: Mega Man were far too difficult for me when I used to seriously play on the NES. x)

Nowadays, however, whenever I go back to try an old game on the NES I have no trouble playing them.

@Solaryellow: Oh, yeah, I remember that game! Had kinda forgotten about it, thanks. Gotta dig it up outta one of the boxes of cartridges.

@master1g: Does World of Warcraft count? (well, DUH, it's an MMO you'd say, but people treat it as a kind of a special case)

Anyway, this is from my personal experience:

The first issue you're addressing is the camping of low level players. Yes, it's true that a lot of high-levels camp the newbies, but that's just part of the game - if you don't want to be camped, that's fine - there are PvE realms. Since all PvP is cross-realm, you can still play in the same Arenas and Battlegrounds as the people from the PvP realms, so there shouldn't be player shortage even if you play in a PvE realm.

The next thing is the "too many skills" situation. That is true as well, but that is exactly the idea - you have to spend a lot of time and effort to learn to properly use each and every skill and utilize it in combat - there are websites like IcyVeins which offer guides and such, so reading up on those and doing a LOT of practice is always good. And there's also a good chunk of skills which are just emergency situation skills for when you are in a near-death situation. The rest you just have to learn to use, like I already said.

Dungeons in World of Warcraft are instanced, so mobs don't have to respawn at all - you can just leave the dungeon and reset it and go back in, do it again (or re-queue in the finder). They are not soloable at all, though the point of WoW dungeons is to work in a group to achieve something that you usually wouldn't be able to do yourself. I do admit the Warlords dugeons have been a bit dull, but Legion should fix that.

The next issue does not apply at all for WoW since bank spaces (which are effectively the only extension to your inventory you have aside from bags) only cost ingame gold.

The final issue is also not present in WoW - all PvPers are on equal footing, the only thing separating them being the gear and (as of Legion) PvP talents.

Of course, this only applies to World of Warcraft and not to any other MMOs, but there is a reason why it's the most popular MMO out there. Yes, the game is pricy, but it is totally worth it if you're into MMOs cause, at least for me, it is better than any other MMO and these are only a part of the reasons why I think so.

Edit: About the "you don't need updates" part - updates are sometimes for new content, which is the best type of update in my opinion (most exciting, anyway)

Hello, GameSpot!

This is my first post here, so for it I decided to start the following topic:

Tell me your history with the original NES/Famicom! What was the first game(s) you played? What's your favourite game?

For me, personally, gaming began with the NES. Some of the first video games I played in my life EVER are Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt, and later on Contra, Guerilla War and Whacky Racers. Only then did I move on to other platforms such as the PC. So what about you?
