I don't really like 2nd gen gaming, either. For the same reason. 90% of the games are too basic and not in-depth. They get repetitive really fast.fastbilly1 wrote:One word - VectrexBoringSupreez wrote:I gave 2nd gen games plenty of tries... the only one I really enjoyed was the original Pitfall. Most of the games just felt too simple, sort of like those $10 handheld games toy stores used to have 15 years ago. I mean, if you like that sort of thing, that's fine, but I like a little more depth.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Ah and this is another thing I don't understand. Retro gamers who don't like pre-NES stuff. The whole "2nd gen" (Atari/Intellivision/8-bit computers/etc) is just a treasure trove of awesome.
I do own a Pong-clone and an Atari 2600, though, because I am fascinated with the history of the gaming industry. So it's not like I haven't given it a good try.
Commodore 64 is the exception. I'm not sure I could deal with the loading times, nowadays. But there were a few games on there I really liked, and I used to own a C64 until it's stopped displaying an image. But C64 games were a lot different than the normal Atari/Intellivision faire.
