I started the pixel remaster of ff6 and I'm surprised how well it holds up
I first played FF6 when it was already retro(I was a Sega kid) and it bacame my favorite FF, even higher than 7 which holds huge nostalgic memories to me
I've actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.
There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It's worse than watching comedies from the 50s.
My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.
This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme
Every time i see it i have tears coming
I know, I started seeing it a lot after losing my cat recently, and it stings a bit. =(
I got a Miyoo Mini very recently and have been playing a lot of games since. I can't put the thing down for long at all!
I keep their memories close by, in several hard drives, and frequently play them over my network...
We did a run of Secret of Evermore with the 2 player mod this december, was super fun. I love rpg's from that era.
I still rock my Genesis. 😎 I brought it to Europe with me.
Gdamn, had a recent talk about it...my sister remembers! It's so good when you do have someone to play it with as a child...
So...go play them? yikes ...
So...you go play them too? Yikes ...
So... 4 player Mario kart then at my house? Yikes...
Luckily those things aren’t dead, you can still play them!
Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.
There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.

Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.
you can still play them!
Off I go doing a crime again
But... anime-girl buried them, so they're kinda hard to access.
OoT actually got new life with the Ship pf Harkinian team
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol

Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.
I don't know what you're talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.

Amiga I still love you
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that's how far I got in the game.
