Time traveller here

[vaanen]

Hey y'all !



I'm here because i'm doing some kind of "time travel" where i go back to 1990 and only play games in the order they came out without touching any recent games so i could be "blown away" each time with "new games" like i would back in the days. I came with this "weird" idea because one day, i had to send back my beefy GPU and i had to play on my 3DS for a long time. Then, when i booted my PS3, which i thought was horrible because it was "only" 720P with no AA most of the time and low graphics, i was completely blown away by how beautiful it was.


It's kinda like, if you eat good paté, you may find it fine, but as soon as you eat foie gras, everything else will be bland. But if after that someone forces you to eat dog food for a long time, paté will feel like the most divine thing in the world. Well, that's what i'm trying to accomplish, and i swear it works ! Takes some time, but after a while playing 1990/1991 game, you feel like you are back in time regarding to what's beautiful/advanced and what's not. And i always regretted that i missed some awesome retro game, and completely missed the whole Neo Geo universe, so with that "thing", i can almost enjoy the games like if i were playing during the 90's since i "forgot" what a recent game is like.

I'm looking for a Neo Geo machine/cabinet so that's why i'm here http://www.ukvac.com/forum/wtb-neo-geo-machine-cabinet_topic355264.html#979293

Hope i'll find one !

have you considered playing in any arcade game mame high score competition's (the game is changed every few weeks usually)

i find it an amazing experience to play old games i missed in the past, and learn ways to get high points and so on. competing with others really enhances the enjoyment and having fun/chat/exchanging tips along the way.

games such as dig dug and mr. do used to just be pretty basic 'whatever' games to me, where i wouldnt bother playing them for more than a few minutes in the past and get bored. but then playing them in a high score competition setting turned it into a whole new experience of excitement and enjoyment.

the game we are playing in the high score competition i am in at the moment is called 'berzerk, which is ace fun and addictive when played while competing with others in the quest to get the highest score of the round. before that, i just figured berzerk was some basic not very engrossing simple 'perhaps a little boring' game. how wrong i was.. it's infact an ace, challenging, exciting, classic, fun arcade game... (it's interesting learning the different behaviours of the robots. and trying to reach 10,000 points in berzerk is quite a challenge, and something to be proud of).

before the berzerk high score round, we played 'joust', which was also tons of frustrating fun. other games we played in ther past were: time pilot, 1943, wonderboy, fantasy zone, and a truly superb hidden gem called Baluba-louk no Densetsu.. the list goes on and on. joining in on these high score competitions has brought me the the same fun feelings and excitement i used to get as a kid playing games. i never expected to get that excitement back again.

anyway u have probably got the gist of what im saying by now... i can't recommend arcade game high score competitions enough to get the most fun and excitement out of even the most basic of the older arcade games from way back in the past, of which many of us missed altogether or skmmed over without exporing the more in depth tactics available...

two of the most noticeable games in that category being donkey kong and pacman, which still hold a huge amount of interest around the world, as players continue to squeeze every last point available out of those games. ... anyway, i'm loving it, and all are always welome to join in on any of the various high score competitions available out there.
