I just can't seem to find console games, and even most arcade games, that were before the NES era any fun.
>>
So do most people , and for a good reason.
>>
Yeah that's not exactly a bold take, there's a reason games before the third gen get almost no discussion here.
>>
>>12319181
because 99% of anons here have never touched a 2600.

>before the NES era
Hell, even 99% of NES games are unfun and practically unplayable without some heavy nostalgia glasses. Basically it's just Mario 3 and Mega Man games that are still fun even without nostalgia bonus

Eggerland was already fun before it went to the NES.

You guys are too committed to the bit, these posts read like an actual unc at the nursing home who forgot basic spelling and grammar conventions due to senility
>>
>>12319242
And ? What's is the problem ?
>>
>>12319241
Ok, list me NES games other than Mario/Mega Man that still play well in 2026 without nostalgia glasses
>>
>>12319268
Castlevania

>>12319242
>unc
You're a middle aged man pretending to be a teenager and you accuse other people of being too committed to a bit.

>>12319268
Most of them

NES are snappy,hard and without filler

It's the plug and play console

That's because you're a stupid person. It's okay, there's a lot of stupid people.

>>12319175
Uh, dude, most people don't find the NES enjoyable if we're going to be speaking about "modern day" trends.
>>
>>12319272
Castlevania 3 is the only one even worth discussing and it still has horrible controls (cannot change direction while jumping), knockback and highly questionable level design
>>
>>12319284
>if we're going to be speaking about "modern day" trends.
Even when excluding modern gamers who only play Fortnite, Minecraft and the latest AAA slop, the statement still holds true.
>>
i agree about console games but arcades are fine. i grew up playing a bit of 2600 and colecovision and really the only game from that era that feels more "complete" would be something like montezuma's revenge. but i really have no desire to play those games again.
>>
>>12319291
>Ahhh there is consequence to my actions i need to be carefull and the game is not piss easy!!!
>>
>>12319169
Pre-NES games I still enjoy:
>Defender
>Robotron: 2084
>Xevious
>>12319268
Ninja Gaiden, which is better than any Megaman game and most Mario games.
>>
>>12319169
Not having fun when playing a game of Joust is a clear symptom of soulless niggerdom.

Recca is an awesome game and a technical marvel.
>>
>>12319169
I like Qix and Space Invaders but thats about it. Donkey Kong was just okay. Galaga isnt as fun to me despite being "better" than space invaders. So yeah anyway basically NES is when games start to not suck. Also dont like pac man.

Tetris obviously. And tecmo bowl is fun as shit to this day
>>
>>12319276
Short games are fun and something I miss. You can pop in an Atari,Intellivision, NES or Sega Master System game and play for 30 minutes and get the full experience. No tutorials,cutscenes or padding or any kind. Just pure gameplay you can enjoy in quick sessions
>>
>>12319291
CV1 is better, tastelet
