Why Retro-Style Games Still Matter Today

Quiggling said:
We had a rich kid in our hometown who had a big house, a big screen TV as large as a tank, and a Neo Geo home console. Everyone wanted to be his friend. I always wanted to collect those big juicy cartridges. I was and am a cartridge snob, I love and appreciate a weighty cool looking cartridge. Shame America got stuck with those boxy SNES carts. they learned though, those N64 carts were slick!

I never knew anyone who had one until waaay later... just the arcades.. but yeah seeing those giant cartridges made me swoon too.. Neo Alec from Basement Brothers has a good way of describing the Neo Geo as an "aspirational system".... for real the SFC cartridges do look better than the SNES ones, same as the system itself.. dont know much about Japanese N64 carts..
