LynetteC: *raises hand with BreOl72* Yep, me.
Isn't that what brought most of us to Good
OLD Games in the first place? ;-)
CharlesGrey: Well, speak for yourself -- I'm just a guy who likes
good games, regardless of their age. That, and I was tired of all the hoops you have to leap through nowadays, just to play some PC games, so I support GOG's anti-DRM approach.
Nothing wrong with liking or preferring old games, of course. But "retro-gamer" sounds like some kind of video game hipster. "Yes, I play video games, but only
really old ones, because that's the trendy thing to do." ಠ_ಠ
Well, I did say "most of us" so I certainly wasn't trying to speak for everyone. :-(
I like old games (massive
Ultima I-IV fan) because I was around to play them when they first came out. I also enjoy some newer "retro-style" games that remind me of my favourites from years gone by so that's why I refer to myself as a retro gamer. I'm definitely no hipster though - I'm just old, as my teenage daughter takes great delight in reminding me!
thefallenalchemist: Well, it's not about playing "old" games, but in the classic style. I guess you can call me a retro-gamer, but I have a few of the modern style games as well. I just end up finishing more of the classic style games. Nothing really hipster about that. We like what we like, and that's a right we still have. Fortunately.
With a collection of 611 games here (not including any demos) and about 50 games on Steam, I guess you could say I have a few in the modern style too! :-D However, it's still the older ones or some of the modern, retro style ones that I keep coming back to year after year.
