hahah, this is such as silly thread, arguing over video games and what's better, etc.
You are all comparing apples and oranges, or maybe something a bit less similar, like.... apples and spinach...
Comparing Super Mario Bros. to Halo.... hahahhaha
I wore out Super Mario Bros years ago, I probably have the first 3 levels memorized though I haven't played the game in years. Add something to that list like Combat. I think most days I'd rather play Combat over Super Mario Bros.
For me, I would prefer many 16-bit and prior games to new stuff. That's just me, As there are some who wouldn't want to touch "old" games.
I had one visitor refer to the systems I own, and their games, as something along the lines of "Cheesy-ass". hahahah, he preferred his X-box and reccomended I get one.
It's all preference.
I saw when the Playstation launched, I didn't care for the look of the system, games, gameplay, etc. The most recent systems I paid much attention to were the Saturn and, to an extent, the wii. Never owned either of those 2, however.
Older games work for me, as they are easier for me to pick up and play, and if I only have 20 min or so to fool around with a game, I can load up something like splatterhouse and play through a certain level, etc. Plus, I prefer to spread my time out with other things now, and that's also why I'd rather stick with what I have. If I were to ever get another system, it would be a Supergun.
It's a matter of preference.
