Feeling old

Half-life 2 will turn 20 in November so I guess the third one is coming out any day now (opens a new can of copium and grips the favourite spork)

Some games that came out 16 years ago:

• GTA IV
• Super Smash Bros Brawl
• Fallout 3
• Left 4 Dead
• Persona 4

Doom came out in 1993 Dec 10

So yeah just over 30 years ago

1999 was such an amazing year in my gaming life. Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mechwarrior 3, Battlezone II, and Unreal Tournament. So, so many hours of my life spent in those. That was like, 5 years ago, right?

Breath of the wild came out 7 years ago.

This made me remember that NFS Underground 2 is 20 years old now, and it's still the peak for the series.

This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now... Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀

Wanna feel old? This September marks the 28th anniversary of the release of the N64

Halo CE is 23 years old.

I still can't fathom that Pikmin is past the legal drinking age in the United States.

I'm replaying a few games that are older than my daughter and she's at college right now.

What... call of duty modern warfare 2 still has active servers, it came like 3 or 4 years ago... right?

When I was a kid, computer games for consumers were a concept of science fiction.

Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I'd bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I'd originally bought them for.

Pong can't be that old, can it?

Anybody else just get back into aoe2 in the last year and watch hera? This is basically that.

The NES has been considered an antique since 2015 (30 years for an object to be considered an antique).

Linkin Park is old enough to be classic rock.

Oh, there you are, Shadow of the Colossus.

2005 (PS2), 2011 (PS3 w/ Ico), and 2018 (PS4 remake)

World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.

Pokemon Let's Go - 5 and a half years old Pokemon FrLg - 20 years old Pokemon RB - 25 and a half years old

That made me think of my Sega Game Gear. That was 33 years ago. I recently turned 40 and now I really do feel like an old fart.

Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..

Weird. Old games sell better than new ones. I wonder why that could be?

I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.

Yes, I know I'm old.

Accurate (it's a bit older than 16 years though)

Next year, Civilization IV will be TWENTY years old. D:

Here's one:

Tactics Ogre Reborn came out in late 2022 for Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC.

That game is a remaster of another title called Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which came out for the PSP in November 2010 in Japan. This puts it 12 years before Reborn.

But the PSP game was itself is a remake of a game with the same name that came out originally for the Super Famicom in October 1995, 15 years before its remake and 27 years before the remaster of that remake.

Fuck
