Me: Haha, 20 year old games, huh? Like Super Mario Bros. and Megaman, right?

Them: Zelda Twilight Princess came out in 2006.

My backlog is long enough to last me 20 years on it's own.

On top of old games I only just find out about and add to the pile. Still a few indie games I'm looking forward too but it isn't going to kill my next year of gaming if one turns out to be a flop.

The explosion of expansions and general romhacks in the last decade has been beautiful. Not all of them are winners, but so many are. If gaming companies funded them and sold them, we'd be in a golden age. But we're just suing the kiddies these days.

No joke the PSP might be my favourite console of all time. It's the only console I've owned multiple of...I've had 4 in total.

I got my main Red 3000 model back in 2016 for £20 already jailbroken with a bunch of roms already installed. Sadly the retro boom has skyrocketed the price, I'd just tell anyone nowadays to emulate it. PPSSPP runs on nearly everything.

Its a fun system. I have a 2000, but I don't play on handhelds a whole lot. It still feels futuristic to me. Much more than anything that came after.

Feels weird to call it retro but I’ve been having a blast with Morrowind lately. 24 years old, so fits with the meme.

The PSP was my smartphone before smartphones were a thing, all the neighbors with unsecured wifis right next to the school hated me.

Seems reverse engineering games to then rewrite them to other platforms with AI is the new hobby.

I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying "wow, great taste." offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!

It's one of the greats. I'm about ready for a replay but I think I'm going to wait for Skywind. It's close, I can feel it.

I put it, Tamriel Revisted, and the Skyrim/Cyrodiil mods on my Steam Deck. Hundreds of hours of wandering around!

Yeah I’ve been running OpenMW too. I never played Morrowind when it was new, as a matter of fact the first time I ever booted it up was probably around 2018 or so. I think it was around the time the TES6 teaser trailer was published. I was late to the TES series, I mostly played Halo and stuff back then. Skyrim was my intro, then Oblivion, then Morrowind, then ESO. But Morrowind never clicked for me before, I tried it almost every year but this year is finally the time I’m having a ton of fun with it. No nostalgia for the game, so no rose tinted glasses, it’s a fantastic game.

I haven’t tried modding Morrowind yet, outside of OpenMW, but my next playthrough I probably will.
