Commercial games?

- don't underestimate importance of history, because -
- There will be a day when 1992 is far away enough -
- Word "classic" will match the reality then -
- and doesn't mean just "game with prehistoric 2D graphics" -
- so people mean it when they say it -
- And these abandoned jewels will cost more than most of us could afford -
- because they're part of technology and human beings history -
- just be patient -
- and it happens. As it has happened to million other things in this universe. Maybe historians dig up a original floppy with Leisure Suit larry 1 on it with their fusion powered shovels at the year 2180 -
- and put it into a museum -
- and people come from far corners of the earth just to see it -

I have spoken.

I miss the days when all games came in an oversized box with nice little treats inside. Now you buy a console game and it's just in a jewel or DVD case, same with many computer games.

I can kinda see where Mr Threepwood is coming from. I often wonder, if the original Donkey Kong or Space Invaders or Wolfenstein 3D was re-released, would it be worth paying for. It's open to debate. Like someone else said, I think it depends on how much enjoyment you get out of it.

shbazjinkens: A lot of developers justified the price of games by including all those treats within the large packaging. Now they've reduced packaging, but the games are still as expensive.

Is that some kind of sneaky masturbation metaphor?
