Classic or new?

Post by Kuja »

So, what type of game do you like to play more, classics (Genesis, Nintendo, etc) or the new stuff (PS2, GC, Xbox, etc)?

The complete set of emulators on my hard disk scream "Classic" very very loudly at me. :D

I play my Xbox and PC and Dreamcast mostly. Although I still have my good ol Sega Genesis with its trusty 32X addon ready to play in the basement. 8) I still play the oldies from time to time but the new stuff is the king of the household.

Depends on what sort of mood I'm in. I like some of the games on the old systems better and some on the new. It's all a matter of choice. I tend to like old school games better but there still some new games I wouldn't want to do with out.

New. I do love old games but I'm not blinded by nostalgia; the newer games are clearly superior to their predecessors.

I'm in agreeance here. Like I said in the other thread, I'm playing Bomberman 3 right now. Bomberman 5 sometimes too. After I've fufilled my Bomberman needs, I can sit back and chill with FF5.

They all get thier share. Right now though it's the Next Gen shit mainly because, well, there's new games I want to explore.

New mainly, though the original C&C has a special place in my heart, along with UFO Defence (or X-COM as most of you know it).

For me it depends, sometimes I like the elder games, and other times I like the 128 bit goodness of Halo.
