So, what are they going to play in 20 years?

Mario Party DS lol.

Actually, basically the entire DS and PSP library is approaching that age.

I really gotta get a good PSP. It's such a perfect mobile console for emulating.

Who needs TikTok brainrot when you can just play dm_crossfire.

I pretty much only play grey Gameboy Tetris these days. I keep wondering why they kept making games after this masterpiece.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Were games even around 20 years ago? That seems like too much time not to be fake

Let me boot up this copy of SpaceWar! from 1962.... Yep, it is real.

Also, the oldest STEAM account is now >20 years old.

Hate to break it to you, but 20 years ago was 2006. Almost 2007, not 1954

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I still need to decide on a class.

I thought about hunter, then I remembered having to manage ammo...

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's the thing, you're in melee !

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh right! I did see people theorycrafting a no-pet, melee hunter build. That does sound fun...

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's called a warrior 😂

Gears of War is a retro game by that logic as it did come out 20 years ago. Feels weird to say that.

[–] boobookittyfrick@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Omg wow forever in like 2 weeks

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Tetris on a serial terminal is enough for me

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

With wow forever we've gone full circle

[–] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's retro meme, must be near 20 years old also.

Scream Fortress everybody

honestly surprised there aren't corporate employee bootlickers in the comments complaining about "job loss" and other nonsense.
