    Default What generation games do you find yourself spending the most time with?

    Well I know its a classic gaming forum but I was wondering what most members on the board having been spending their spare time playing.

    I spend most of my time playing the DS. It's a modern system, but I think it plays like a classic one.

    Variates. I most collect classics stuff tho, but what i play is mixed. Today i played through Magical Sword for SNES. The previous days i've been playing The Tower for GBA. Overall i guess its mostly classic gaming so i voted that

    The new stuff is innovative and fun, but the familiar feel of the old school is what keeps me coming back for more.
    Gimmie a game, I'll either love it, or pimp-smack it.

    I play these systems the most:

    Dreamcast
    Saturn
    PS1
    Super Nintendo
    Gameboy Advance

    (in no particular order)

    The newer stuff usually does nothing for me, except for a few games on XBox and Gamecube.

    Will admit I'm a firm modern gamer at the moment-mainly because I've rediscovered Oblivion and, well, that is a bit of a time-occupier. I still have at my Mega Drive more than occasionally though.

    I've been putting a lot of time recently into 6th generation console stuff (PS2/Gamecube/Xbox) and late 90s PC stuff (Interstate 76, Freespace, Tachyon: The Fringe, etc).

    Well, i've played some NES games on my DS for some time, so i guess that counts as classic games.

    I'm still classic. I TRY AND TRY to get into the new games, and I do GENUINELY like them, but I can't spend the kind of time that they require me to spend with them. So when I've got a free hour I prefer to spend it playing four or five "old" games rather than page through the instruction manual and GameFAQs and get past the learning curve for the new ones.

    I'm classic game playing for the most part.

    I play Genesis, NES, SNES, and Turbo Grafx/Duo the most.

    On the other hand I can spend alot of time playing newer stuff (shooties) on PS2/PlayStation, Saturn, and Dreamcast.

    I spend very little time playing PS3 and 360. But 360 has XBLA and I have spent some time playing Contra and Lumines and will be getting Time Pilot, TMNT, and Castlevania this week.

    Modern...by a large margin. The 360 and PS2 take up easily 95% of my gaming time.

    I still have all of my 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 games and consoles, but they're packed away. My PS and Dreamcast are hooked up and available, but rarely get played nowdays. Whenever I get the urge to play the old stuff, I usually am satisfied by a retro compilation, XBLA, or Wii V/C.

    Classic here.

    Don't get me wrong, I play the hell out of my Wii60.

    But my arcade games, and my Atari era consoles get the most attention.

    modern games. Theres a constant flow of fun stuff coming out for next gen systems, whereas I only play classic games from time to time. I can play Super Mario 3 but only so many times.

    It's mostly modern for me. PS2, DS lite, etc. I've played classic stuff back in the day so it's NOT getting as much play. Word.

    Modern gaming. I cant believe how addicting online gaming is on the 360.
