Retro yet? (sh.itjust.works)

Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?

I remember the first time I really sat down and played (and finished) the original Legend of Zelda was in the late 90s, well into the PS1 era and 11-13 years after the game was released. Although admittedly, I was a bit older than 13.

Good games are always good games. Once someone is mature enough to see past the historical limitations, they don't seem to matter nearly as much. Last year I saw some tweens commenting about how PS3 games are "unplayable" now, and I laughed. Yeah, that's why no-one plays chess or poker any more. "You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's game!"

Omg. I used that exact bttf quote a few weeks ago for something similar!!

Graphics have never mattered to me. They're a party trick.
