Default Re: Misplaced nostalgia; why the NES sucks

I agree with the message, but not with some of the details. Well, whatever. You know what you're talking about more than I do.

However, "misplaced nostalgia" might be phrasing it incorrectly. People will, naturally, have nostalgia for what they grew up on, what they first played, and stuff like that. If I started playing whatever TMNT NES game I had, it'd be really nostalgic. Memories of old times would come back, flowers, etc etc. The only thing is that I would realize how much worse the game was than I remembered.

Genesis is underrated, or at least by people from real life and such. Toejam & Earl 2 defines greatness. Everyone played bad SNES games, aside from SMW. Again, I'm talking about the normal, average guy who plays videogames.

Oh, Moogy, what do you think of the Donkey Kong Country series?
