Why do people choose classic gaming over modern gaming? I wouldn’t consider myself a “gamer”, I play my NES when I have 15-20 min. to kill because it has nostalgic value and is pretty simple to control (ie only has two buttons). However, it seems that if I was more involved in gaming I’d be playing the new systems because the graphics are better and the games seems more complex, plus you can interact with others on a greater level. So why do people prefer older systems over the new? The Atari was my first system and I can’t for the life of me figure out why people find those games fun at all.
