Use a CRT then a PS2 etc look great
I did and it didn’t 🙂
Played them all on my old Ferguson 17” portable that I bought with my own money, when I got a Spectrum plus 2 to replace my ZX 48k one Xmas. And yes, I have been gaming a long time!
Do agree that old games provided a quick fix without having to wade through endless cut scenes and configuration, but that what iPhone games are for nowadays. Played quite a few Old Skool style PSN games and they just don’t hold my attention on a big screen.
Also, I think we’re spoiled these days by constant auto save. A game like New Zealand Story on the Amiga was a real commitment to learn. Inching a bit further through each play before dying and having to start all over again. Just don’t get that consequence of small mistakes these days.
🤣
Kids these days have it too easy, with their autosaves and high definition graphics, mumble, mutter, something something, jumpers, goalposts, fields. Pfft. Give them three lives and no continues and a requirement for pixel-perfect accuracy or it's Game Over. Hit box? I'll give you bloody hit box sunshine. And pull your damn trousers up.
Werthers, anyone?
The thing is though, they might look ‘rubbish’ compared to newer stuff but they play really well, I think anyway. Maybe not FPS that use a squillion buttons if that’s your thing (not mine) but old style 2D shoot em ups and Street Fighter Alpha 2 or 3 (or any of the Marvel vs Capcom games) really can’t be beaten for sheer quick pick up and playability.
They are quick but for me these days they hold no interest at all. Run around shooting stuff? Yawn.
When I was a kid my neighbour has a game called Vortex Raider on the C64. I thought it incredible because it was 3D, and it was like being in another world. So naturally I now love immersive open world games. Also why I love Elite Dangerous currently 🙂 Running around shooting stuff, even in 3D holds little appeal.

Have you played Warzone? If so which do you prefer?

Yep that's why I put 'for me' meaning pertaining to me only 🙂
I’m in North Oxfordshire.
If you can pick up I’ve got an Xbox 360 and games I can put together for you.
I’ll get one of my boys to check it all works first.
Thank you so much for the Goat Simulator recommendations. That game was made for me.
