Things you realise once you reach #Forever28.
* You can finish and become rich in #SimFarm. But as a Forever28, you can't duplicate your success.
* You can win every single game of #CaesarIII and #CaesarIV, but not as a Forever28.
* You play #Diablo (the original) without cheating (especially the duplicate cheat). As a Forever28, you can't even imagine how you played Diablo without cheating.
Most important of all: you still don't like #eyecandy games. Games like #MUD / #MUSH (text-based online #RPG), #roguelike, dungeon crawlers, and isometric games, are still your go to #games.
@youronlyone SAME. The last couple years I've done Diablo each year once through. Maybe I will this year too. It's so good. I emulate it on my PS1 mini
@jake4480 Yep! Something with the 90s and early 00s video games really attracts.
I guess the simplicity and lore? If compared to modern games, it's too much eyecandy and concentration on learning the game mechanics, than actually enjoying it. I'm not sure, it's so hard to nail what it was with classic games that modern games are missing.
Even in consoles, I'd rather play Family Computer games than modern console games. LOL. And yeah, emulators! Get a modern machine and play classic games! (I'm so guilty of that too.)
@youronlyone heck yeah. Maybe you love some of these, or would like them if you haven't tried them - there's a roguelike in here, etc. I just wrote this up earlier this month, just something that had been banging around in my head. https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2024/04/06/20-video-games-i-cant-stop-thinking-about
@jake4480 Wow. Great list!
LOL! Duke Nukem II and Felix the Cat!
Gauntlet seems familiar. I probably played the arcade box version before.
There is another that I want them to re-release, I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, Carmen Sandiego franchise. ^^
@youronlyone haha thanks! Classics. And oh wow yeah they should really remaster those Carmen Sandiego games!
