Have you ever had your childhood wish come true ? I did, just now. I was playing Armored Core 4 and I was thinking what other fun robot games are there. Suddenly there was this tune in my head and I knew what was it. I searched youtube for the name of the music and found it. "Into the Blue Sky, Temjin theme" for Virtual On Cyber Troopers. I remember playing this game on Sega Saturn when I was young. Although I only played the demo, it was my favorite game. I wanted to have the full game but the game in the past was like $80-$90 ++ which is expensive shit. I didn't get to play the full version.
I decided to download the Sega Saturn emulator and search for the game. I found it and started playing it. Childhood memories starts to flow back and I was really happy. A wish that I had once as a child and forgotten was finally fulfilled.
I started playing games when I was in Kindergarden 2, about 5 years old and the first console I played was the Sega Genesis Megadrive. The graphic back then may just be 16bits and 32bits. However, the games were simple and fun. I remember Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. Simple gameplay, point A to point B, jumping on enemies, scoring high score with nice stage music.
I downloaded the Playstation emulator and search for games too. I found some of the old games that I played when I was young. I'm currently playing Threads of Fate and it is still fun, just like when I was young. Games like Breath of Fire and Xenogears were fun.
Compared to the games of today. Most of them have shiny graphics and effects. However, the amount of game time is reduced to accommodate the graphics. Some of the games have complicated gameplay to achieve realism, while some are just plain broken games. Now with capabilities of online play, competitiveness increases. Although not all, there are players throwing vulgarities at one another just because the team loses or someone is being burden. Sure, no one play to lose however some just wants to win and nothing else.
Back then, friends will just come over. Playing simple console games together and have fun. Time has change. =_= (I feel old. lol)
Damn, this post is long and wordy.
