And
EDMIX
as well.
So what should I do ? A complete list of all the games and consoles I have and why I find them still perfectly fine nowadays ? I don't have the time right now to go into so much detail.
Why wouldn't you go back to playing Master System ? It is an awesome console, picture is fantastic through SCART RGB on my CRT, I replay often Power Strike II on this console. Timeless game. There are many others like this that I still enjoy to this. I always preferred Sonic 1 and 2 on MS to the MD games, I find that they are much more fun, well designed and perfectly playable even today. Asterix, Castle of Illusion, Dragon's Trap etc...
I could go on like this will all my old consoles and how a ton of games perfectly stand the test of time. How is this going to help convince you of anything ?
I largely prefer how these old games were designed compared to today. They were simpler, not bloated with stuff, provided great fun. This is something that was lost in time, especially on the bigger games. More variety as well.
If you don't play on CRT anymore, you most probably don't remember all the advantages of this type of display over modern technology. Softer picture, perfect motion resolution. It was perfect for 2D games, and great for 30fps games as well. Modern TVs are especially bad for 2D scrolling, leading to a ton of blur.
And I don't think that current cartoons suck or whatever. I simply live in both worlds, I watch older movies and series as well as the most recent ones. Isn't it possible to enjoy both ?
There is no other way to understand (or remember). Just as you cannot understand what VR brings to the table as long as you haven't experienced it yourself.
