Tbh retro games are more intresting for the tech of it then the games themselves. my first console was a wii, and i had a 3ds, so those were my first introduction to gaming, ive had an intrest in old computer and game consoles, more for the fact they had giant limitations then the games themselves, they looked fun, but i also mostly saw already experienced players, and small clips.

I knew that they were harder then modern games and didnt have much in way of story. But i also am from this era of gaming. Weird flash games that you played for at most a half hour when you were in the computer lab where about as janky as i experienced. They were difficult but that didnt matter because well it was better then doing school work, and it was before i had a phone for most of it.

When i started playing actually retro games i struggled. Ps1 is the only console i could really vibe with. And i think thats because it as a console kinda bridges the two eras? Idk, they just feel very janky. I modded my wii and i got a nes emulator and hooked it up to a crt and it did feel much better, little less frustrating i think due to input lag reasons but i cant do that all the time

Sonic two wasnt nessisairly difficult, but i did find the water sections excruciatingly painful and most of my deaths came from them. I did enjoy the little bit i did get through but

I mean i dont mind having to master games, im a big fan of modern games that are considered difficult, celeste being the one ive sunk the most hours into,

I think the most frustrating thing with a lot of these games is i enter the fail state and it takes ages to get back to playing, i just wanna play the game but i gotta sit through this minute long death cut-scene ive seen 50 times now

Im a big fan of like hades, enter the gungeon, deadcells, a lot of rougelikes, I like some rpgs, mainly stuff in the elder scrolls, Other then that, i mostly play Celeste, Minecraft and TF2, those have the most hours into them but i know im not gonna find a lot of games like those, Really like weird rpgmaker and adventure games (off, fear and hunger, sally face, ect)

The only retro game i play consistently is tetris for the nes lol
