Still it sucked though `3rd (19831987): NES.` nothing really, but playing Super Mario 3 and Contra coop was awesome. Didn't care for the SNES Contra `4th (19871993): SNES/Genesis.` last time games with secrets or in-game codes were common, and more interesting than the secrets of last gen `5th (19931998): PS1/N64/Saturn.` couch coop was awesome for this time on the N64 `6th (19982005): Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox.` last big jump in 3D graphics `7th (20052012): PS3/360/Wii.` I kind of miss the wiimote for FPS games, but I guess motion controls are coming back and better than ever --- I obviously like you at least a little to even talk to you -cornman one day I hope to post a message so great it ends up in someones sig -Two_Dee <cite>catboy0_0 posted [p:913934166] in What do yo...

AlisLandale 12/11/18 8:35:07 AM #10:	I wasnt around for 2nd gen, but looking back at it, some of the early community aspects seemed kind of fun, like mailing pictures of your high score to Atari to get an iron-on patch. Aside from that, one general thing I miss about older games are the limitations of the hardware. People rag on say, N64 and PS1 graphics, but their relatively limited resources lead to some imaginative artistic directions and stimulated the imagination a bit more, since you had to fill in the blanks rather than have every small detail rendered for you. --- Since I'm not popular, I'll post on GameFAQs. https://i.imgtc.com/tRY2coU.gif <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:913934631] in What do yo...
