Ben_Larson Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 But now now the format is a hit, there's no reason not to head straight for ther 16-bit era. Which means the end of the Atari knockoffs. I disagree. You're not taking into account the 80s nostalgia factor. 8-bit videogames are the 'in thing'. SNES and Genesis are lame, from a fad point of view, still stuck in that not-yet-nostalgic-yet-too-obsolete-to-play stage. Have you been to your local Hot Topic lately? Practically every other shirt they sell references an old NES or Atari game... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 By the time a trend is represented on trendy Hot Topic shirts, it's already over. These games are designed for and largely played by kids under 13. They don't have any nostalgia, which is why they will abandon the Atari era with glee.

H1HummerAlpha Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 As a collector and follower of classic games. Our newest video game system: ATARI Jaguar. [Loving it still]. We'll hold off on the X-Box, Game Cube and PS2 for now. OK back to the subject at matter. We'll buy one of these newbie ATARI thing-a-ma-gigs being a collector and completitst. Neat idea.
