@stux for me, The Witcher 2 is a modern game. I love Morrowind though. 😂😭 @thibaultmol

@stux I've played first-in-genre games which are now so obscure, people only know of the game which popularized the genre.It's definitely a weird feeling how much has become purely historical.The moment 256-colour graphics were new. The moment multi-channel audio was new. The moment floppies stopped being used for most things (still used for some! WHY!?)What else will simply disappear into the past? And will this be before floppies go away or after?What about fax machines?

@stux LOLI remember being 4 years old when my Dad got the PS2 for us and had Vice city on it.Now I'm 26, Hell I'm already considering 360/PS3/WII Retro at this point. But of course there's debate to call it retro.

@stux By the time the Wii came around, We already considered stuff like the SNES Retro when the SNES came out like... 15 years prior.The 360/PS3 is almost 20 years ago.

@stux One of the first times I felt old was when I asked the clerk at GameStop if they had any NES games and he pointed me to Super Mario World.

@stux Sometimes it seems like the video games that drew me in during my youth were crafted by highly skilled artisans who chiseled out pixels the size of boulders.

@justafrog @stux Fax machines likely won't go away anytime soon because Japan (and things like banks).

@stux There is a confusion, ancient is not synonymous with old. Retro is in fashion. It's called vintage I think. My first triple-A game was Doom 2. I still have in the attic my first computer, a Spectrum. Maybe I'll rescue it and give it a new life.

@stux From about the late 1990s to the early 2010s, the hardware capabilities of computers really exploded, which is, in my view, also the era in which video games as a technology matured the fastest. Consequently, games from this era have aged a lot faster and less gracefully than in any other—and it really shows my age when I say that I once looked at Half-Life 2 and thought it was the pinnacle of graphics.

@stux Try being a gamer in your 50s. In addition to the photo, anyone remember Star Control II? M.U.L.E. on Atari? The original Zork? Dungeons and Dragons on Colecovision?
