I refuse to play old games because old games are cheesy.

Games made before 1995 suck so bad.

3D games are soooooo much better. Polygons are teh shizznizzle!

But you know what game really blows? That one game, JJ & Jeff. That game suxorz!

I'll play any game that holds my interest. I did notice something of a downward spiral in game quality when 3D became the norm though...games were being sold on the basis of "superior 3D graphics!" but usually had very little redeeming quality. Once 3D was completely mainstream, good quality games started appearing regularly again. I've got no problem whupping your butt in a game of Pong and then whupping your butt in a game of Soul Calibur 3. :P

The only thing that bothers me to this day is the vast amount of brainless FPS games. They're all the same basic game with "l33t0r gr4f1X m4|\|!!!!!!111111". BOOOOOOOORING. Keep your Quake 13, Medal Of Honor 84, Half-Life 132, I'll go play me some original DOOM goodness. :D

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Hell rules. I've been there. It's cool. And I mean cool.

Almost as cool as Frozen Utopia. :twisted:

On the other hand, I catch myself a lot whistling a tune from 2d games with hilarious soundtrack like Winds of Thunder, Gates of Thunder, Star Parodia, etc.,

Making fun of the GOT soundtrack is punishable by death on these boards...

I'm a great whistler, therefore it's more a homage.

If that's the $10 version with DOOM 1 (Ultimate DOOM), DOOM 2 and Final DOOM, then I have the same disc. I <3 that game.

I'm still amazed people pay $10 bucks for Doom. I mean,ever since Al Gore invented the internet,Doom has been pretty much free.

C'mon man, it's DOOM. Doom 1 and 2 are a BARGAIN for $10, and by getting the .WADs from the official disk, you know that it hasn't been hacked.
