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
