    No More Retro Games for Me

    DateFriday, March 26, 2010 at 10:32PM

    I think I've finally hit the end of the road with retro games. For many years it's been a bit of an obsession - but I think I've 'done it' now and it's time to move on.  My moment of clarity/realisation came after catching site of myself playing the new 3D Sector-X game on my Vectrex (video below).



    2010's A-list games stand head and shoulders above anything from the 1980s and I even find that the majority of my iPhone games are better than any Spectrum or Atari ST game I ever owned (and for a lower price than a budget game of 20 years ago).

    I'm seriously contemplating cancelling my order for an Open Pandora because I'm not sure I'll get enough use out of it playing old roms when there are so many new games demanding my attention.
