not only in modern gaming but graphics are the reason why old consoles suck

and everyone must spend $600+ to play better , more 'realistic' games

Im looking forward to retro gaming becoming more mainstream and not just dodgy emulators and roms (though i do love my snes roms

) with things like Nintendo Revolutions download of classic games and xbox live marketplace.

Im getting the Revolution just for the old games, if the new games are good then its just a bonus

Heh. You cheaky money you.

GamersRevival will feature games past and present (yes, 360 reviews will be there from time to time), and they will be reviewed honestly and based on their merits above and beyond "bling" factor. All reviews will be done with a healthy sense of history, which is something the entire GR team feel is lacking from modern day reviews.

"Fight Night" on 360 might be all "Wowee look at the purdy graphics, Maw", but we still remember Punch Out on NES, and how much fun it still is today.

A little more polish and it'll be ready.

It'll hopefully also tell you why abominations like this bastardised Zelda for the Philips CD-I exists. I'd never actually seen the ending, but i'd heard it was crap, i was poking around today and found someone linking this Youtube video.

Worst ending ever! If you have the magic book, you win. Boss battles be damned! And no, EA had nothing to do with it.

elvis · 9th April 2006, 9:24 PM

Holy cow that was brilliant! No wonder the CD-i did so well! </sarcasm>
