Apparently, we didn't learn much over the next 30-odd years ...

My Son wanted a Play Station but no, I had to get him a Sega Saturn because it was "technically" superior. (well it was)

I was really disappointed by the Duke Nukem reboot, it had lost all of the comical elements that made the original so enjoyable.
I have three original Nintendo titles I would like to play again for nostalgic reasons.

Shadowgate
Wizardry , master series
and
Dragon Warrior

These were only a small step above the 2600 but they were fun at the time.
The internal battery was supposed to keep saved games for up to 10 years, guess I can't count on that. 89, 89 and 90 LOL

There's emulators that you can use ...
I have an ENTIRE library of just about every Nintendo, Atari, Colecovision, and Intellivision game ever made ...

It's amazing how much they kinda suck now; but I still love playing them periodically ...
