I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .
Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .
In the SNES days, everything had to be optimized. Nowadays, you don’t need to optimize anything because most people have hardware that’s overkill for that era of gaming. Even the engines are probably geared towards hardware that the “average” Steam user has.
That’s a good point, and it’s a shame that it’s correct. There seems to be a load of games that could run on a SNES if they were optimised, but need a proper gaming PC instead.
