Im actually different you would think me being from newer generation would love all new games and forget about old games but every 2 months or so i whip out my emulator and play all the sonics and then i start with super nintendo donkey kong i remember when i was really little playing these games they were good times and it brings back good memorys playing em again.
The Sonic games are still reasonable though, I grew up with ZX-81's and Spectrum 48 k's. It's incredible just how bad those games look now yet I still remember them being the greatest and most inventive games of all time.

Sabatuer has in my mind never been beaten and Splinter Cell and its ilk are pale imitiations. Battlefield 2142 is nothing compared to Carrier Command and Turbo Esprit was a better game than Grand Theft Auto.

That's how I used to remember it anyway........until I downloaded an emulator pack one day and had most of my childhood memories ruined

The Sega consoles though are a lot more modern than the games of my youth.
