Paging, Super Joe!
I’m loving the fact that I grew up at a time where I got to experience the dawn of electronic gaming back in the Atari and 8 bit era. And I’m just as glad that in my “late twenties” I’m still able to become particularly excited when the oldies become new once more.
For instance, take this:
And 20 years later, turned to this:
I get to play all my favorite 8-bit Nintendo games (including Bionic Commando) on my Firefox browser with FireNES (it’s actually Virtual NES but compressed to a browser plugin) while enjoying the “new” stuff on the next generation consoles and the PC. I guess half the fun is seeing how the old school veterans like Capcom and Konami remake their most memorable titles for next gen console gaming.
What I do appreciate now is how relatively easier the next generation games are compared to their 8-bit counterparts. Weren’t the old games (have you played Silver Surfer, Ninja Gaiden I, Adventure Island or Ghostbusters for the NES??) just too insanely difficult to finish??

Games have really improved over the years because of advanced technology. My only issue is, I can’t apply my 8-bit 2D skills and strategies to their 3D game counterparts anymore. 
I don’t think I ever finished any NES game without the help of upup downdown leftrightleftright baba start..
My God! I got family computer cartridge of bionic arms. Its my second favorite next to Contra. So there is a new version pala.
