I got a Miyoo Mini very recently and have been playing a lot of games since. I can't put the thing down for long at all!

This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme

Every time i see it i have tears coming

Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged...poorly.

There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It's worse than watching comedies from the 50s.

My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.

Gdamn, had a recent talk about it...my sister remembers! It's so good when you do have someone to play it with as a child...

Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.

I don't know what you're talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.

I know I can emulate, but there are times when I wish I still had my old Playstation. I left mine behind when I had to make a sudden break from an ex of mine about 20ish years ago. Somehow I ended up with a controller and the mouse, but I have no idea how they got separated from the system itself and ended up in my possession.

Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that's how far I got in the game.

Luckily those things aren’t dead, you can still play them!

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 42 points 22 hours ago

Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 16 hours ago

you can still play them!

Off I go doing a crime again

There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Which is better for 8- and 16-bit games, HDMI out with an upscaler, or analog video out with a real CRT?

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.

[-] Ofiuco@lemmy.cafe 10 points 20 hours ago

OoT actually got new life with the Ship pf Harkinian team

I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Same — everyone has so many memories of that game. For me, it reminds me of playing games with my brother, he would read the prima strategy guide and help me get through the dungeons. My father bought ocarina of time for us both for Christmas. We got drawn in to the magic of that game for several months after.
