Old Vs New


Today while I was watching tv I started thinking of the video games from back in the days. I guess it was because theres this new video game commercial that was on. I started thinking of how many people had the latest video game console from back in the 90s. One of my favorite was The Nintendo 64 they had games like Mario kart and stuff like that which made an afternoon entertaining. There was no online just two controllers if you had a friend to come over and play or anyone to share the experience of the game. I also thought about the first early games like pac-man and tetris how they were only one player games and it was just concentration games that would work out the mind pretty good. They were simple games that people were amazed and curious to try out. All these old games and consoles were effective and not that big on social media you actually had the person next to you playing the video game. It was all about the game nothing more just the game they didn’t have internet they didn’t have online gaming. New consoles keep developing and older one are being thrown out they stop selling the games for that particular console so basically your force to buy the new one, I guess that’s why I lost a lot of interest in actually buying the new console because all they are going to do is keep making new ones and keep putting more and more stuff in them.

  1. I agree. I stopped playing video games right around the time everything was online based. I couldn't just play the game anymore. I had to sign in, log on, create an account, update, spend $500 on the new console. I liked the graphics and sound, but it became less accessible for me. The game was not even worth playing unless you had all the extras. The campaigns were too easy and even lazy. I miss the old days of having friends over and being able to see them get mad and throw controllers when I'd hit them with the red shell right before the finish line. Priceless.
