Yeah, oh the good old times.
Nowadays games rely too much on graphics.
Except Ratchet and Mario games

That's why I stick to handhelds mostly these days.... The games are more like they were in the SNES, Paine days.

Lol, thanks. I took 6 months off from writing, came back and it's the same 10 follower
He had a year ago, so I can't help but push it wherever possible.

Yeah, it's definitely worth it, the tv input isn't great unless you use a CRT, but that's what classic games were ment for so it's not the worst handicap
