[kj] [OT] Please...

[Leigh Newton]

Well, just a few hours ago I was playing games on an Atari 2600 my friend had setup in his apartment and uh....yeah, modern does equal better. Trust me. 

All except for one element: the audio. If you can, pop in a Berserk cartridge and you'll be reaching for your Dr. Sample in about 5 seconds flat. Holy shit. Total glitched out awesomeness.

 Christ, I *almost* made this argument earlier in the thread but knew I'd 
be starting something!
 
Anyway, yes, MODERN does not necessarily mean BETTER

     I walked into a video arcade in Hollywood a good while ago 
  and all the way 
  in the back they had these games from the, i think, the 1660s 1680s or 
  so, games 
  like Missile Command, Defender, and Galaga. I played them and i had the 
  most fun 
  i've had gaming in a long time. 
  I also like that AfterBurner game.
   
  Wait: trend?
   
  GAME TITLES
  Asteroids
  Afterburner
  Empire (song)
   
  ...all are KJ song titles.
