These kids with xBoxs and PS3s...
Edited on Wed Jun-15-11 10:06 PM by HFCanMan
I was in a local game store and there were some kids, who could not have been more then 12 playing an xbox. They played for a few minutes and tested another game which according the them and their friends had "shit graphics".

Do kid these day not realise that real video games are 8 bit? They didn't even look at the NES however, it found a loving home with me:)

When did graphics become the only important thing to people? Why does games play not matter to so many of these kids?

6. My kids all love the MAME games - Elevator Action, Mario Bros, etc.
It seems to run best (and has the most functional ROMs) on a Win98SE box. The Win7 version rejects a lot more ROM sets.
