It’s retro game week, and I asked people to name their four favorite retro games as #4retro.
And it leads me to a question. I assumed most of the appeal of these games was nostalgia, but my son loves retro games and seeks out some that were produced before he was born. 1/

So, is this super common in the retro gaming community, people who were either not born or far too young to have experienced these games during their initial release? If you are under, say, 25, are you playing these games that are older than you, and if so, what is the appeal?

Over 25 but some of my fave games were released when I was very young, and I came to them later. Idk what it was, maybe my brothers’ influence as they are much older than me, but also my access to games was limited when I was an older kid/teenager.

I find that a lot of games hold up, and for most of my teenage years and early adult years all I had was a game boy advance (gifted to me when I was a teenager), a DS at 18, and my brothers consoles but I didn’t play much on their stuff.

I really only played the Mario games on the N64 and the GameCube. Otherwise it was the older final fantasy games released on the gameboy advance. I played some of the newer FF games released throughout the years but I never finished them. Replayed FF7 recently and finished it.
