So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn’t have a specific console growing up so we didn’t play the “classics” on it, or something.

I’m just wondering how many of you have played an older game and thought “wow, I wish I grew up with this game”?

For example, for me, many years ago I played Super Metroid for the first time and fell in love with the idea of just wandering aimlessly around the game world, occasionally stumbling into new areas. I would have loved to have played it as a kid with childlike wonder without worrying about finishing the game or making progress.

    Aww, you missed out on the C64. My favorite thing was to get the new magazines when they came out every month so I could copy the BASIC code or ML code for games. So many cool games to play from those mags. It kept me busy for hours and hours.

          i managed to get my hands on two Amiga 4000 040 in a local auction a few years ago.

          Other than replacing the batteries and some minor repairs, i’m ashamed to say that they are just collecting dust.

          Still, pretty to look at. God i wanted one back in the day! Now i’ve got two! 😄
