I see most gamers really only play and talk about the newest PS4/Xbox One/PC games but there are a lot of amazing 80's and 90's games out there. Family members and girlfriends/boyfriends that don't play games may think they look old and stupid but true games know better.

I like games and anime. My favorite games include the following: Mother 1-3, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Cross, Zelda LA-ALttP-OoT-MM-ALBW, and Super Smash Bros.

No way! Older games of my favorite. Great graphics are nice, but they alone don't makes a game good or fun.

No. I play and talk about any games I enjoy and won't care if a group of people think they're old or whatever.

This site has a ton of fans of older stuff, especially nintendo and squaresoft fans.

Myself, I basically stopped caring about consoles after the PS2 era.

Almost every game I play these days are indie games. Some of them are retro. I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed about that.

No, but I suspect that my 3DS, which is the only current system I have, will also be the last system I'll ever buy,* so I wonder if when it stops being current I'll be embarrassed to come here.

*I'll probably always have a PC, but I suspect I'll never have one that can handle top-of-the-line games. I don't even know the specs for my current PC.

Are you kidding? I'd say about 90% of my gaming is on PS1 and on back.

I was so embarrassed.

No.. never see or heard of that before.

While I'm pretty much the only one out of my friends that still plays/buys retro games they all think its cool. Few of them went and got the snes classic because of my talk about retro games.

The only time I've ever felt embarrassed playing a game is when it's something like DOA Xtreme. My then-girlfriend bought the 360 version and was shocked that I actually wanted to play it. I'm like "are you really so surprised?" In all seriousness though, the social aspects and collecting stuff were what held my attention. Anything involving collecting usable items or conquering a map = addicted.

Nah, but I could understand how some people would feel that way, but as you get older you're kinda like "Fuck em" and then just enjoy what you like.

Playing modern games is way more embarrassing. I feel like gaming went from Nerds to Mainstream and back to Nerds

I think if anything retro games would be LESS embarrassing to someone who might get embarrassed by such a thing.

I played some Unreal Tournament 2004 online a few days ago, surprised at how active online it still is and I had more fun with it than I did most modern FPS.
I'm also playing a 1995 DOS Star Wars FPS, Star Wars Dark Forces. It's fun but holy hell the controls are fucked.
