C'mon man, we all know Jaguar is the best system ever. One day we will have a Jaguar mini with Air Cars and Fight for Life... but today is not that day.

I still keep mine around for Kaboom. It's not a nostalgia thing, I first played it at a friend's house last year and became obsessed with it. It's still fucking awesome.

I played Radar Rat Race and Gorf quite a bit on vic20. You can get carts for it now that have every game.

Before I was permabanned from neogaf I noticed that this is just how it is. A person who is 10 years younger than me believes the PS2 is everything I thought the SNES was. And the SNES to them was the 2600 to me. To them there is no deterioration from the 16-bit days, only improvement (as I thought 2600->SNES).

Bottom line your age is like 98% of this.

I would like to think old rpgs hold up better than Pacman knock off #78

I flat out don't play games that involve a ton of mindless stat leveling anymore. Most old RPGs are out of the question.

Being 14 and having summers off makes that bullshit more tolerable.

This explains why GAF loves the N64 so much. Many people there had it as their first or second game system. There is a tendency for people to prefer what they played a teenager although my favourite gaming year might be 2000 when I turned 25.

I didn't own a VCS as a kid but it has a few contenders for my top 100 today. My neighbourhood was mostly Atari and VIC-20 kids back then. I ended up on the VIC "side" and had some biases against the VCS until later on.

The system has a lot of arcade style games that can be fun in short sessions. When I was a kid I thought that it was awesome, but for all of the fun I had with it, my best memories are of all of my friends exchanging and playing games on the C-64.

Yeah, kaboom is really cool, as is a 4 player session of Warlords. I might be inclined to put Warlords on my top 100; it's gameplay is timeless.

I had 1 friend that had a Vic-20 and a cart of Space Panic. I thought it was pretty cool, but he never did much with the computer.
