Luckily those things aren’t dead, you can still play them!
Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.
There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.
You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.
Which is better for 8- and 16-bit games, HDMI out with an upscaler, or analog video out with a real CRT?
That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.
Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.
you can still play them!
Off I go doing a crime again

But… anime-girl buried them, so they’re kinda hard to access.

I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.

OWOOOOOOooo
Same — everyone has so many memories of that game. For me, it reminds me of playing games with my brother, he would read the prima strategy guide and help me get through the dungeons. My father bought ocarina of time for us both for Christmas. We got drawn in to the magic of that game for several months after.
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.

We still talk about how many of your cartridges got buried in a landfill.
Yeah nintendo still sues communities trying to port oot to a more modern engine xD.
Shit, I still have a working Genesis.
Same!
I think I have three of the damn things.
They just keep popping up like mushrooms. Same thing with Gamecubes.
I’ve had a hard time finding cheap working GameCubes.

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.
Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.

You didn’t need the attribution line. With just your quote we all heard it in our heads.
POWER UP!

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.
I’ll let you go out in style.
Amiga I still love you
Is that Lain?
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that’s how far I got in the game.
