Hello... ello, lo lo lo o o o. Hmmm.... seems like that strange echo is back, back ack ack ack k k k. (tap tap) Is this mic on?
Odd that this area stays so silent. But I guess people are just not that interested in talking about these older games anymore. I find that a lot in the forum's of older game systems. I have a passion for retro games and have no interests in the present generation of systems. I spend all of my gaming time in the retro systems. I guess that, I am unique in being that way.
I love arcade style gaming, that simple pick up and play addiction, which might explain my obsession with the older games. This time period, for me, that I am stuck in, involves the late 80s and early 90ish to that mid and sometimes to late 90s. I never tire of that type of gaming. But the age of the arcade is gone. And so is their influence on console gaming.
After that it seems that gaming started taking a different route on the consoles. And the modern, present generation, seems that it don't even catch my interest. I don't even bother looking any more as to what is new on those systems. Has the simplistic addictive fun gameplay been lost as console gaming becomes more technically powerful? I miss hand drawn sprite gaming with smooth animation and addictive gameplay.
So I remain chained to the past. And even though I love cart based gaming, I love having the Neo Geo CD. I wish I was pouring with money so that I could afford the AES with all of its games, and glory. So for the time being, I will try to be satisfied.
The Neo Geo CD provides an outlet to funnel some of that hunger for the old arcade gaming. Being that I have a TV right next to my desktop, I sometimes just let a Neo game run while I am online. It is easy to just turn to my right and play for a few minutes and then go back to the net, or do some work. I get that arcade feel with one of those games. And, for some reason, they never get old. Being an older gamer, maybe I never out grew my childhood. Or maybe they just keep that youth alive in me.
I apologize for the long post. I guess the passion just sort-of leaked out there for a moment. "Last Resort" is calling to me. The monkey is juggling those balls. Looks like it is going to be a good Neo day.
