I don't really even like old video games

[JucheApologist]

I was replaying a video game remaster (basically the same game as the original) of a game I was very fond of in my youth and while I did enjoy it, I didn't really feel the spark of happiness I felt as a young child playing it. There was almost this magical sense of wonder while playing it and now, it's just bland. I miss being really happy rather than me missing the old games

Yes... I found a PS3 disc of nostalgic old Sega megadrive games I absolutely loved as a child. Took it home, booted it up that night to relive happy memories.

Sonic.... sucked.
Ecco the dolphin... sucked.
Golden Axe... the challenge of trying to actually land a blow distracted from the fact that it sucked... for a while.

Conclusions:
Man, we were easily entertained back then. Some happy memories belong in the past.

Take some magic mushrooms and feel like a kid again for half a day and then play those games.
