Though (if you were from the NES era) you could always get the power...nintendo powerYeah, sometimes I feel ancient:when I see kids asking for help on miiverse for a game I played before I'll sometimes say: "Back when I played that, we had no help. We had to learn how to complete the games ourselves! with no help, in the snow!" then I realize how old I am...
Just yesterday me, my friend, and his brother were playing Melee/Double Dash/Superstar Baseball/Pac Man VS and then my friend wanted to play Spyro 2. My friend's younger brother (who's a freshman in High School) was holding the PS1 and keep in mind it was the redesigned one that had smooth corners and he said "I'm holding ancient technology." This was clearly meant to be a joke but my older brother was talking about that today. I can see how in our perspectives it's not very old (shoot I even remember when my dad brought the thing home and we still might have the box for it) but imagine if that thing was "ancient" yesterday imagine how people in the future are going to try to make jokes over how old it is, ha I bet they aren't thinking of that one and yet it still plays fairly good resolution 3D games like Spyro. Personally I think more people would know about video game console history because it's really popular and such but it's another thing to actually show the console to them in person. Now that we have VC and plenty of YT videos of games (even the ones that seem to have bad design or are super hard) at our hands so that's a thing that seems irrelevant nowadays. Yes it makes you feel old but in the way that you are glad it's possible for people to play games that you once played (with the exception of Melee huehuehue).
I feel old even though I'm not. I'm a teenager, still in high school, yet I have an NES, and actually enjoy older games more than newer ones. I don't think you can really get too old for video games, just play them in a healthy balance. Its like saying you get to old for fun, or too old to read books.
Hahahaha. No one talks to me irl that much except for like 2 people. No one visits my apartment though. But when they do mention it, I kind of feel old, but not that much, since I was born in 1999. When all the cool kids were born B). That only happened once though, when we were talking about 3D Super Mario games (I kind of get very talkative on that subject)
