Retrogame collecting just a fad?

[Moviefan2k4]

Name 2 RPGs on the N64

Shadowgate 64
Quest 64
Hybrid Heaven

Moviefan and Scarmullet are obviously PS1 guys. 

Actually, I wasn't a huge PlayStation fan, with the exception of two games: Castlevania Symphony and Resident Evil 2. After beating them both many times, I gave up, and quit. Growing up, I was always more into Nintendo products, but overall, the N64 was pretty disappointing. The main reason I have one is for the two games I mentioned earlier; besides, all the later ports for "Ocarina" are censored.

Censored?

Censored?

Some I remember off hand was changing the color of blood from red to green (in relation to Ganon at least)

The well level had some changes with the bloody walls or something?

and the music in the fire temple was changed.

There were a couple other changes due to some religious ties I believe

Fucking weak.  I was pissed when they altered Link to the Past for the GBA, making it useless to play level 6 before 5 among other things.  That change didn't even make sense.  It just "fixed" a non problem with the game.  It's like Lucas and Star Wars.  JUST LEAVE IT ALONE, Nintendo!

"Censored" is a little strong. They changed the blood from red to green on Ganon, and I believe most of the blood in the Shadow Temple is still there. In fact, some of it is even still red.

The music is the Fire Temple was changed mutually - Eastern audiences didn't like the idea of their religious music being used in a video game, especially in a dungeon. It was also said that it makes Western audiences uncomfortable (not me personally).

The last thing that was "censored" was the Moon and Star symbol, because it was seen as being disrespectful to Islamic people to have Link stepping on the symbol that was so similar to the one of their religion every 5 minutes. Which I think is definitely fair enough. EDIT: I forgot to add that this revision is only in the Gamecube and Virtual Console versions. All three cartridge versions still have it.

So the game wasn't really all that censored - maybe altered to better suit religious sensitivity.

Its just another result of political correctness, i.e. "never offending anyone, regardless of intent".

I'm actually a bit dissappointed I finally brought out my trusty n64 to play some OoT to see what revision I had and just my unfortunate luck...I have the 1.2 revision with all the edits lol

If you want a 1.0, get a gold cart, I have a 1.0 gold and a 1.1 grey.

More on topic, it may be popular because being a nerd is trendy, so many people have Game Boy iPhone cases at my school, one kid made fun of me for liking Nintendo in the past, Even though , I don't think It will die out, I am the next generation and I have many friends who love the older games, I grew up with the PS2 and one of my top systems is the SNES.
People still watch old movies, and listen to old music, and read old books that came out before they were born.
I love The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Three Stooges, Monty Python, Police Squad, Back To The Future, Shakespeare, Ect. All came out before I was born, and ended by the time I got to it, for the most part.

just like hot girls in underwear playing retro games....
