Today Altre talks about the inevibility of Gaming Nostalgia, a serious disease that all gamers are doomed to catch at one point or another.
Symptoms: The primary indicators of gaming nostaliga are a loss of objectivity, and spending large sums of money on equiment and games that are old enough to have had their own kids. Over time, you will increasingly find old games fun. That in itself isn't bad. It's when you begin to see those older titles as being resolutely superior to newer games that you can suspect you've been infected. Expect to find yourself in arguments making statements like, "Game x was really great. They don't make them like that anymore."
Ah! The good ol' days! |
