Games of the Old by Evan Boettcher



Games of the old are better because they are original and they are still played by very many people. They are very simple games and they are just fun to get and play and trying to beat a personal high score. Old games also bring back memories from childhood and playing the games makes you feel like you are a kid again.

There are many of old games still played to this day and some of those games are the following

  • Pac-Man
  • Galaga
  • Zelda
  • Donkey Kong
  • Tetris
  • Dig Dug
  • Space Invaders
  • Pong
  • Mario
These are only some of the games still played today but there are much more. Also a lot of people are mad about all of the new games being too futuristic so a lot of people like to play the older games because they are more simple than the new games today.

It is harder to find old consoles now but you can still come across them and they are usually pretty cheap depending on what the console is. I personally like playing old games because they are just very fun to play and seeing how far technology has gone in a fairly short amount of time.

We went from Ataru to Xbox in no time. Graphics on old games are not very good but they show how classic the games are and how much graphics have changed overtime.

People still play old consoles such as the following

  • Playstation
  • Wii
  • Nintendo 64
  • Saga Genesis
  • Atari
  • Xbox
  • Gamecube
  • Telstar
  • Nintendo Entertainment System
These are some of the consoles still played today but there is much more. I think old video games are still played very much all around the world by many people including me and I like them because of the simplicity and fun that they have and bring to the people who play them. These are my thoughts on video games of the old and why people still play and enjoy them.

  1. Old video games are really fun because they're really easy to learn, can be played with friends, and they're super cheap now. I enjoy them and it's interesting to see how modern games have taken pieces from some of the first video games.

  2. Great blog, but I could've used more comparison with the games it makes a lot more sense if you would've. I still miss the old games.

  3. I wouldn't consider the playstation or X box systems to be old game systems because they are constantly making new versions of them. However; things like a gameboy or nintendo 64 I agree they are older. The only two games that I have played that you listed are Pac Man and Mario. What are the others like?
