[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 3661321, member: 23012"] First, what grounds do you have for making this claim? How do you [i]know[/i] that other people's "good old days" weren't as good as they "remember" them being? Don't project your own experiences on others. Second, you obviously [i]failed[/i] to read my entire post. One of my main points is that people still play those old games [b]today[/b], and prefer them over the current games. That's not 'nostalgia' or 'memory'. They're doing it [i]today[/i]! So obviously their preferences simply differ from yours. By making silly claims about people "misremembering" the "old days" you fail to recognize this fact, and try to present your subjective preference as something more objective than it really is. Um, [i]I[/i] never claimed anything of the sort, thus I'm hardly "flat out wrong". Yet again, you show that you haven't bothered to read what I've posted. Different people had different gaming styles back then, just as they do today. Unlike you, I'm not about to claim that I know what proportion of people were "powergamers" in 1982 versus 2007. I have no idea. And frankly, I couldn't care less. [/QUOTE]
