This is amazing!
When I was a kid, this is exactly what I wanted. We had a Commodore 64, but my parents wouldn't get an NES. They eventually got me one, but it was when all of my friends already had the SNES.
- gnarbarian 8y agoLOL your parents were sadistic.

- Insanity 8y agoDoes not hold up nowadays, at least not for multiplayer games which is why a majority of people play. If you get the game after 5 years, most of the online games will be dead. On the other hand, here I am, playing Counter-Strike:Source every weekend with a group of friends. But I'd say CS:S (and the older games in general) are not following the modern trend of multiplayer games. I doubt the latest CoD (whichever one it is) will be playable online in 5 years.
- jimrhods23 8y agocheap, not sadistic. The end result is me being the most successful in my family with first a career and now multiple technology businesses. I spent all that time learning C64 basic and some assembly. I used to type in games that I found in C64 magazines at the library. I had no way to save it, so sometimes it would take me multiple days. A few times, the power was cut :-( and I had to start over.
