Games now are better than ever

[johnk_]

Dude, have some respect for the classics. You're sounding like some grunge/rap music kid saying old blues/rock 'n roll songs are obsolete. You don't have to like the games of the past but at least acknowledge that something can be good whether you like it or not. Personally, I have never enjoyed a Sid Meier game but I can see the quality even though it's not to my taste.

you tell 'em Neo..

Those damn whippershnappers just can't appreciate a good classic these days..

Seriously, will someone please come in and ban every one of us?

Or at least move the thing to whatever forum they have now that's hidden that I don't have to look at.

Glad to see the mods are really doing their job

I can reason fine, haoh. You're the one having problems.

And pardon my horrible typos. I haven't been typing on a right proper keyboard for some time.

Diff, Haoh, Joust, and Jeremy: shut the fuck up. Diff, you're a smart guy, but stop flamebaiting. The rest of you, stop stalking him.

How many times is this going to happen? He baits with the same line every time and the same people go after him everytime. It's like a a bad knock knock joke now. Break the cycle! Don't get into the strangers car and go straight home or to the nearest area where a lot of adults are.

Don't tempt me.

Likewise with a lot of Genesis games. Theyre just not worth playing anymore. Other than out of sheer curiousity or nostalgia I cant think of anything I would want to pick up and play on the system. This is simple reality. Just because Jeremy gives every game he plays a 10/10 doesnt make it a classic or worth playing now.

I still play Herzog Zwie at least once a year. The game was well designed and has countless replay value. 16-bit is the high point of platform gaming. Most platform style games in 3-D, have'nt improved on the play mechanics and still have issues with the camera.

In a feeble attempt to salvage the decent conversation that this thread once had, I'd like to post this interesting pair of quotes.

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - Albert Einstein or E.F. Schumacker

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein
