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.

Way ahead of you… I have about five devices stuffed with just about every game from before 2000 :)

Particular favourite is my MiSTer FPGA device, which does a lower level emulation than software emulation and tends to give extremely accurate results! Finally, I can be the nerdy 80s high school kid hooked on NES and hijincks that I always dreamed of being :)
