Message: [QUOTE="Bomberman, post: 266709, member: 289732"] Honestly I don't think nostalgia is the reason so many older games are beloved. Plenty of younger generations play these classics and find them enthralling. I am 32 now but when I was in my teens I ran with a guy who would play atari games on his psp. Something can capture some people that other people dismiss. Tank controls do have a small barrier to entry but after someone can get a grasp on them the games behind them are absolutely still mesmerizing. I love Code Veronica (probably my second favorite behind the original Resident Evil 4) and I played that on Xbox 360 initially where its graphics would be considered very dated compared to contemporary games. There is definitely a charm to low poly games with prerendered backgrounds because the limitations often amplified the creator's vision. On a tangent an example of this is the original Majoras Mask. While I can see how some prefer OoT in the 3DS version (I dont) the 3DS MM sanitizes the dark aesthetic that made the original so captivating. [/QUOTE]
