Don't expect objective results on a forum dedicated to classic gaming

Let's see... games from two decades versus games from 5 years...


Uhm... Strangely enough there was more good titles created over the course of 20 years, then what has been created in 5...

Age doesn't matter. Games are all about fun, and those games were made then and are still made now. If a game is good you should try it. Buy the ones created today, and download the old abandoned ones... that's what I say.

I still buy old games to this day. Just yesterday I bought the entire Realms of Arkania triology for only a couple of bucks k:

In case someone wondered. I didn't vote.

Me either - I don't think it's a fair comparison to make since the harware capabilities advance so quickly that games today are entirely different to those of a few years ago, let alone 25.

I won't vote, as in my opinion, games have always come in varying degrees of quality. Nowadays, the games are more profit-oriented, sometimes lacking in originality, and sometimes less personal, but this doesn't mean they're no good, though.
I think there's little difference, besides attitude.

Well i based my vote on this..... I used to buy quite alot of games, there were alot of games in production i was looking forward too. However i've bought maybe 5 games in the last year, and there are only a few i'm looking forward too. So i guess the 80/90's games are better since i bought more of them.


However any game with a sniper rifle is a good game.

Hmm, for some reason I'd expected the current outcome LOL
(it can change, though; it won't, but it can.)

old games are better because the new ones aren't original anymore.Also many old games have better graphics than the new ones.

A good game is a good game!

And depends also in what you want to play in a specific moment! Sometimes i want only to kill houndres of evil aliens and sometimes i prefer to live a deep humorous/fantastic story...

Good oldies tell you very-well written stories full of humor or suspense or magic... nowadays there is (almost) only action and 3d-grafic, that are good things when i want to stop thinking for some minutes.
