gaming Do you still play video games from your childhood?

[MangoFoalix 24,961]

Off and on I do. Though it really does depend on the game.

[The Historian 516]

Since the games from my childhood are things like Zelda, Mario and Mega Man, you bet your ass I do.

[Totally Nyx 36,061]

You bet I do!

Let's face it, even with the fancy graphics they got nowadays, modern games just don't compare to the classics. Nostalgia is just the icing on the cake.

Eeyup ...............

 

[TheRockARooster 51,539]

Absolutely.

 

It’s a real journey down memory lane, so much fun.

 

I feel like getting out some of my old consoles now, THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!

[Matrix Twang 338]

I routed and now speedrun My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie's Party for Nintendo DS.

Although rarely, I play Minecraft on Hardcore mode or modded.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,691]

I love to play some of the old SNES games from my childhood. Things like Star Fox, Secret of Mana, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

[Rainbow Dash Swag 285]

I sometimes play my GameCube games such as super paper Mario and the thousand year door, super Mario sunshine,etc

[Prospekt 11,018]

Absolutely... in fact, I was just playing Mario Kart DS a little bit ago, which I've had since I was 8 years old. I've got a fair amount of other older games as well, mostly Xbox versions of PS2 games I owned before my PS2 died on me. Thank goodness for backwards compatibility on my Xbox 360. I've got some old DS and Wii games as well, and I got a PS4 port of Ace Combat 5 (an old PS2 favorite of mine) when I pre-ordered Ace Combat 7.

i don't play games often nowadays, but when i do, it's usually very old games that i really liked, and next intalments of those same games if there are any, i played heroes of might and magic again after many many years, and i can say it was just as fun as it was then, (i was just a bit too rusty so the bot made short work of me)

[Mini 451]

i recently started playing the sims 2 again

that game made up 90% of my childhood

[Tales 19]

I still play Animal Crossing. I played on the GameCube, the Wii, the DS, and now the 3ds. So many trees shaken... so many rocks repeatedly hit... so many fish... all the fish... literally mountains of fish rotting in tom nook's storehouse. In all seriousness though, that game really did leave an impact on my life for the better. As a children, my siblings and I would play animal crossing on the GameCube, all sharing the same town, and even exchanged real-life favors (such as doing each-other's chores) for bells [the in-game currency]. Despite only one of us being able to play at a time, we all gained an immense amount of joy from simply watching our combined wealth grow and grow, one rare fish at a time.

[MangoFoalix 24,961]

Sometimes. It honestly depends if I really want to play it. This can be anything but I usually do it for the nostalgia trips.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,165]

Yeah, still got my 'ol PSP, which i've been playing off and on the last week or so. Also found an PS2 recently in the dining room of my parents house. Need to find a memory card and see if it works so I can start playing PS2 games again.

[Dawnchaser 🌄 8,092]

Have occasionally run an emulator for Speccy classics Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy 

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

In theory yes. But I don't have much time for games and it is a hassle to get out my old systems.

[Cash In 22,366]

I do occasionally, although it only gets more and more difficult, as I like to focus on new releases as well.

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

Sometimes. I like to do a run-through of Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask every now and then, and I'd play MechWarrior 2 occasionally if it wasn't a massive pain to get it running on modern computers.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I still play "Star Wars: Battlefront 2" (the old version).

[Astralshy 26,824]

It's kinda rare these days, but yes in general I do. But only those old PC games which I get to run with DosBox etc. The old consoles games I played, I'm not enjoying because I don't have an old NES or SNES.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,989]

on occasion,

i mostly play world of warcraft and gta v though, with some stardew valley mixed in

[ExplosionMare 18,065]

Not so much anymore since I sold most of the games

[Clawdeen 14,420]

Sometimes. Some of them I can’t play anymore due to the systems not working.
