In some ways I miss the good old days when you did not have to wait for a system update on a game console. You just put the cartridge in the slot and go. This evening I sat down and tried to play a PS4 game but had to wait for a system update.
Firstest of first world problems, I know, but still.
I grew up in the pre-internet connected console world, and it is slightly irritating.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some fantastic benefits to gaming today…Digital delivery of content is great if done correctly. Gone are the days of scouring every game store in your city to try and find a particular game.
I’m looking at you, The Legend of Zelda for NES!
I never did find that one at a reasonable cost, despite searching for years. Searching for years in the mid-late ’90s, mind you, so it wasn’t super rare or collectible like it is now.
I ended up finally getting the GBA version of the game.
