MeowersAleksander MajjamSometimes I wish I still had the old old consoles that probably wouldn't work anymore. Or that PC's still had diskettes.I'm a sucker for things of the olden days long forgotten.
Yeah, those vintage PCs really do have some... Atmosphere around them. Big whirring and clicking metal blocks with CRT monitors, running DOS and stuff like Norton Commander, with those funny old games. And what surprises me the most, many of them are still functional, even if they're like 30-40 years old and that's a hell of an age for a computer. Maybe having an old PC in my late teen years actually gave me the chance to look at all that timeless classic. Like Doom. Or X-Com. Or Dune. Or even Frontier. Because those were the only games I could run on that thing.
Sometimes I play old console games on an emulator, with a keyboard acting as a controller, but yeah, it's not the same experience. There was even a technical explanation about why old games are looking better on CRTs.
But I can't say that playing Doom on a modern 32'' LED isn't funny.
Alongside with the retro feeling, there's still the question, can you afford to have all the old stuff with the extra space it takes? Yes i understand vinyl and the lots maniac's but the question stand still... Where did you put all of that old stuff??? Here's a reason of it against all the old schooler reasoning and feelings, why it's better to keep and play anything on modern format.
