Olde Gamies and Farty Owls

You know... a good post doesn't have to be 440 words long, or have a comprehensible title, or even feature a nice pic. All a decent post needs, in order to achieve ultimate greatness, is a link to the Game Oldies website. That's why I'm linking to it. Have a look over there and enjoy a full blown Java emulator of the Sega Genesis, the Sega Master System, the S(ega-it's quite obvious you know) Game Gear,the NES, the SNES, the Gameboy, the PC-Engine, the Colecovision and even some classic arcades. It seems rather legal too, but if it isn't, have a look at a wonderful collection of legal threats.

On the other hand, this might just not be your thing, in which case you wouldn't be advised to click on the 'retro' category link (it's there, look at the -left- sidebar)...And here's a nice picture:

  1. ....And just think -the next generation will look at that kind of platforms as "pong" style crap! I always get a kick out of re-playing old games...remembering how I thought that "This is it!" for gaming.

  2. Sure hope not, besides pong wasn't that horrible (only too simplistic) and Sonic looks good regardless of how high-tech he is.

    And, thanks for commenting...
