Board 8 > If you had the chance of traveling to the gaming past or the gaming future...

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can travel through time, but you can only choose one path: past or future. However, you can still travel back to the present at will. What would you choose?

Does gaming past erase your memories of the games

There'd be no reason to pick it otherwise, since everybody would be hype for the games but you

You can (you have the option), but that also means that you could be getting hyped again for a game that may have already disappointed you.

Take the past, an era where Gaming was actually fun before people broke it down with their fancy tiers and complaints about brokenness.
---

It just seems pointless to pick past otherwise

I can play Chrono Trigger today, or I can go back in the past and... Play Chrono Trigger with all my memories of having played it already? Too much work for the same experience.
---

the future is just going to have everything remastered in hyper ultra HD Remix turbo edition III. So why would you ever go to the past.
---

I'll take the future and upload myself into perfect virtual reality. No need to come back to the present after that.
---

I would rather just go back in time so I have more time to play the games I already have <_<
---

Future easy

gimme Cooking Mama 2100 where you can smell everything you cook
---

^ Just bloody well cook some food, then.
---

Future, because that's more games.

And I can probably take something from the present with me, pawn it off for an outrageous sum, and buy "old" games for the cheap.

but then Mama wouldn't compliment me on a job well done so what's even the point
---

I'd go back to the PS2/Gamecube beginnings. Such a magical time! I can wait for new games.

Would depend on the specifics of how this works, but I'mma go with past. There're a few online communities that I would've liked to experience in their prime (both in-game and out).

The only reason I would travel to the past isn't for video games

Ah, you know what? I feel this right here.

it sucks when you join a community for your favorite game series from your childhood, only to realize that the community is a fraction of its former self and is very quickly on a downward trend as other people move on.

For the record, the fandom was once big enough to do a write-in campaign to convince the company to greenlight the fifth and final game in the series, finally bringing some closure to the franchise.

Of all the games that keep getting brought back from obscurity, Quest for Glory is one of those games that I honestly wish they would do, even if the final product ends up being worse than the original, it'd still be more content.

Past for active online multiplayer of old games

I wonder how many people are prepared to deal with dial-up again if they go back far enough?

Free dial up is still dial up.

And on that note, I don't actually remember a time when dial up was free. So I'm guessing you're referring to a time before I was born.

Can I go to the past and buy games that become very expensive at low prices?

Then again I guess I could also go to the future and see which current games become very expensive and buy them in the present so that's probably not a big distinction.

It sure would be awesome to show off the Mew glitch to people once Pokemon RBY come out.

Let's give this one more bump.

I wanna see more Cooking Mama 2100 comments, they crack me up.
