Is it just me - or ar games getting to be a bit of a let down. I mean - when was the last time you played - to the end - a really great game.

Maybe im getting too old now (27), but i remember the good old days of the Zx Spectrum (Manic Miner, Jet Pack, F117A), the Amiga , (Kick off, Gods, Lemmings, James Pond, Lotus esprit, Stunt car racer etc (and on and on)), the Snes (Mario), Nintendo 64 (Mario Kart (highly underrated)), and even the PC - which had Doom, Half Life, Civilisation etc...

(Hehe - The Amiga ROCKED for gaming)

Yet nowadays there arent as many good games, there all rehashes of previous games, all glitter and no gold. Maybe its like Football, it was better when there was less money and more risk taking?

Am I right or wrong? And just how much did the Amiga rock...

my buddy just got a Dreamcast, and a cd with 200 NES roms on it. We've been playing like crazy, we beat the Marios, the Metroids, The Megamans, beaten so many games in the last 3 days. New games suck! first you need to buy them ($50), then buy a system for them ($200console - $2,000comp).... seriously, FORGET THAT!

im happy with my friends pre-owned $20 dreamcast, and his pirated Rom cd.

and for all you narks, between the both of us, we did own all of these games and some. they're in storage probably melted, but still OWNED.
