Commander Keen was the shit! I've had two of them, I can't remember which.
I would put money down, that over 80% of gamers rarely touch old games for more than an hour, every once in a while. I would also bet that you yourself don't play nearly as many old games as new. Newer games are just superior in every measurable way (obviously "fun" not being measurable).I have to disagree here. There are so many old games that I love, and I'm a realitivly young gamer. Games like Super Metroid, Myst/Riven... not to mention Duke Nukem 3D, Doom and Marathon if your talking about FPSs. Sure, they might not look great, but they play as good if not better then most games released today.
