Is that Lain?
Yes.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme
Every time i see it i have tears coming
I know, I started seeing it a lot after losing my cat recently, and it stings a bit. =(

POWER UP!
AH AH AH AH!
I’m playing through Jade Cocoon right now. These games aren’t dead.
That game was so cool! So many wild combinations of monsters to make, such a neat setting
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.
I’ll let you go out in style.
Yeah nintendo still sues communities trying to port oot to a more modern engine xD.
Last year I bought an original 8 bit Nintendo system with Super Mario and Tetris … two games I grew up playing for hours and hours. I hadn’t played them in years and I thought I should buy one just to have on hand because they’ll probably disappear and become unavailable in the next decade or two (assuming I’ll live that long … lol)
I bring it out once in a while just to play it and get frustrated as I try to remember where, when and how to run and jump through level 8

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.
Luckily those things aren’t dead, you can still play them!
Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.
There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.
You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.
Which is better for 8- and 16-bit games, HDMI out with an upscaler, or analog video out with a real CRT?
That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.
you can still play them!
Off I go doing a crime again
Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.
But… anime-girl buried them, so they’re kinda hard to access.
That’s lain you heathen
Amiga I still love you
I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.

OWOOOOOOooo
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.

Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.
Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged…poorly.
There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It’s worse than watching comedies from the 50s.
My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora’s mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.
I started the pixel remaster of ff6 and I’m surprised how well it holds up
I first played FF6 when it was already retro(I was a Sega kid) and it bacame my favorite FF, even higher than 7 which holds huge nostalgic memories to me
I’ve actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.
