  • 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

  • I don't know what you're talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.

  • 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 OG NES is quite possibly my most played out of all my retro consoles. It's currently loaded with Duck Tales, for meme purposes.

      Mine also has an emerald green power light (because I can), the lockout chip is clipped, and I modified the cartridge connector so you don't have to press the carts down to play them anymore (because that blows people's minds).

      • My eight year old self back in the 80s would have seen you as a god among men. I would have been happy to just watch you play on that console.
