totallyterrificpants Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Newer games lack a lot. I only have a Xbox One for Rare Replay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Honestly, I was never really into video games at all until I was given a 2600 just a few months ago. But I fell in love with it as both a machine and because of the fact that it is still being produced for. I love the idea of this many people still playing and creating for a medium that is now decades old. Not to mention the games are actually good and hold my attention... Unlike new game systems. Games are supposed to be fun and all that. Not an exercise in learning and drudgery. VCS games are timeless and that's why they're still being made today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure DKC on SNES was a basic platform game but beyond those visuals is a great game. I don't care how many polygon's my PS4 can run, I had more fun playing the PS2 port of Bully than ANY of my exclusive PS4 games. VCS has that charm which can't be beaten. Asteroids is more fun than the annual Call of Duty release. I do love some newer games but the last two games to suck me in were The World Ends With You in 2008 and Persona 4 Golden in 2013 which was a port of a 2008 game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunknown Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I just stared collecting for the 2600. Space Invaders, Frogger, Bezerk,Yar's Revenge,etc the games are just timeless. So easy to just pick up and play for hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulletino Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Atari was our first "Family Console" and i spent most of my birthday/xmas money on games for it as a kid. All of which I still have, so just the sight of Atari games brings back happy memories for me, the boxes in particular are just perfect. Back when the cover art could determine how you saw the limited shapes you controlled on screen. Playing them momentarily transports me back in time to a less complicated age and time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I think "bring'n back the good times" has gotta be the #1 reason for wanting the systems we had when we were kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 So that my kids have an inheritance that's actually fun and entertaining when I'm gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I collect partly because of nostalgia but mostly because the games still really damn fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
