      Quake 1 is still rocking servers and multiplayer games are still being had, 30 years later.

      It’s still a great multiplayer gaming experience. back when games were made properly; with the sacrificial sweat of a demon’s nutsack.

      How about an awesome expansion to a 30something year old Zelda 2?

        The explosion of expansions and general romhacks in the last decade has been beautiful. Not all of them are winners, but so many are. If gaming companies funded them and sold them, we’d be in a golden age. But we’re just suing the kiddies these days.

    Feels weird to call it retro but I’ve been having a blast with Morrowind lately. 24 years old, so fits with the meme.

      I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying “wow, great taste.” offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!

        Yeah I’ve been running OpenMW too. I never played Morrowind when it was new, as a matter of fact the first time I ever booted it up was probably around 2018 or so. I think it was around the time the TES6 teaser trailer was published. I was late to the TES series, I mostly played Halo and stuff back then. Skyrim was my intro, then Oblivion, then Morrowind, then ESO. But Morrowind never clicked for me before, I tried it almost every year but this year is finally the time I’m having a ton of fun with it. No nostalgia for the game, so no rose tinted glasses, it’s a fantastic game.

        Most recent would be Elden Ring and its DLC but before that, it’s been a long time. Probably 360/PS3 era.

        No joke the PSP might be my favourite console of all time. It’s the only console I’ve owned multiple of…I’ve had 4 in total.

        I got my main Red 3000 model back in 2016 for £20 already jailbroken with a bunch of roms already installed. Sadly the retro boom has skyrocketed the price, I’d just tell anyone nowadays to emulate it. PPSSPP runs on nearly everything.

    My backlog is long enough to last me 20 years on it’s own.

    On top of old games I only just find out about and add to the pile. Still a few indie games I’m looking forward too but it isn’t going to kill my next year of gaming if one turns out to be a flop.

      I pretty much only hear music from around 2004 -2014 played in public. I really couldn’t tell you most new music. I certainly remember 80s music being played in high school but it didn’t totally dominate like 2000s music still does
