Message: [QUOTE="Turbo Kid, post: 329091, member: 859511"] Not usually. Though sometimes when I go back to an older game I'm surprised at how much my skills have deteriorated just because it's been a long time since I've played it so I may need to practice a bit to get back into fighting form. With a lot of 8-bit or 16-bit games there's that problem of you know longer having the game memorized like you once did. Other than that, most games I revisit are as great as I remember. I'm just not one of those people affected by the whole, "can't go back to playing older games after experiencing newer ones" thing. I can jump back and forth between gaming eras with no problem. Like I can easily jump back into Tomb Raider or Resident Evil and pick up those old tank controls like they never went out of style. The challenge of revisiting them comes, like I mentioned earlier, from me forgetting a lot of things about the level designs, enemy/item placements, or sometimes even some gameplay mechanics that I've forgotten about. A lot of older games don't have tutorials, so if you forgot anything you may need to pull out the manual or go online. I actually love some of the lessons that older games have taught me. Like I talk to every NPC and interact with everything when I play a game, something a lot of modern gamers don't do because I guess they didn't grow up on games that expected you to focus on every little detail. So then they get stuck in a game and get mad at the developers. Also, a lot of modern gamers don't have lateral thinking skills, which games like the Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam & Max all taught me. [/QUOTE]
