What do you think about retro games?

You probably all know that companies have been releasing a lot of retro 8/16-bit styled games. But what do you think about it?

I personally think that these games are fenomenal (coughshovelknightcough), plus they bring the good old days of the NES and SNES back to this day. More kids will know about how great it was back in the 80s-90s, and not just Call of Duty this Battlefield that.

I- i don’t know. I just think they’re awesome.

Im not sure whether I like the 8 bit/ 16 bit games that are being made now. Minecraft. Its a spectacular game utilizing 8 bit graphics in a 3D engine (Java). But when you bring kids into play, they are what ruined the minecraft experience that I love (Cough >Pewdiepie< Cough.) On the other hand, there are some really neat games that use 8bit / 16bit graphics like Hotline Miami. (I love Hotline Miami)

Oh yeah hotline miami, i almost forgot that game. :stuck_out_tongue: It’s a unique concept and awesomely executed.

Not every retro game was good (‘E.T’).
But all I know about retro games comes from YouTube, so I better won’t post there.

I meant the new games that are styled in 8-bit…

um
MINKRAFT FTW

I think he means retro style games, and yoy can’t have good without the bad, accept it, it’s part of gaming history…

I don’t accept it as a- a… A GAME!? How does one even call it a GAME??

wat?
You think that Minkraft isn’t a game?

Mega Man + DuckTales = Shovel Knight? Looks pretty cool, I wonder what Capcom think about this… it’s a little too expensive in my opinion though.

<nerd>
Actually Minecraft doesn’t have 8-bit graphics, it just has low-res textures and blocky graphics :stuck_out_tongue:
</nerd>

Sorry, just meant pixelated :stuck_out_tongue:

Too much HTML

minecraft actually only supports 16-bit textures though :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol i was talking about ET

I think it’s Mega Man + Castlevania + Ducktales + Super Mario (not really) + Ghost and Goblins = Shovel Knight IMO. But i think an average of 5 hours for $15, if you’re a completionist it’s like 7.5 hours.

Oh lol.
It was a game! (and a movie)

They have their place for sure. They are great when you get stuck on a low end laptop etc. Other than that though they always make me feel like i’m wasting my GPU capability.

Haha!

That might be a problem, yeah. But when they’re on like portable systems like PSP or 3DS i think they’re worth the buy.

PS WHAT KIND OF PC DO YOU HAVE
