Just makes the near infinite amount of older games that i can get for free more appealing. I used to really like video games. I had a nice little retro game booth in a flea market for a while, I've probably played through more games than most self proclaimed gamers because making sure the games i was selling worked and that i could answer questions was how I was making money. I was never one to prefer a genre before that either, there are good and bad and mid games in every genre. Standing out from the pack was what separated the classics and forgotten gems from the rest of the heap. Sometimes standing out didnt even mean being particularly good, some older games are worth trying because they are such radical departures from what we see as the estsblished formula, cause it was either a new formula or one that didnt exist yet.

My top games just to illustrate the variety:

Wild Guns

F-Zero X

FTL

Skate 2

Fire Emblem Thracia 776

Super Metroid

Castlevania 1

We <3 Katamari

Star Fox 64

Metal Gear Solid 2
