I recently downloaded Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil onto my PS4. Surprised how N64 games can be transferred to other platforms. Feels great playing those games.

I've heard of gamers doing that with games. Myself, I'm not tech savvy enough to do that. lol

Dude, you have to leave that job. I mean, what is the career path of cleaning public toilets without a brush?

In reality I work for the CIA. Unless you have sky high clearance from the US government I really can't discuss it. I'm sure you understand.

I'll fire up an emulator once in a blue moon, but for some reason the old games feel boring very fast

I have a mini Sega Genesis like that. Today's games are very impressive but I miss the simplicity of retro games.I've got something similar to this:
Retro Game Console – Mini Retro Game System Built-in 620 Games and 2 Controllers
It was cheap. Preloaded games was handy. Hardly ever used...

I used to play consoles at relatives and friends houses when I was a kid, but my first personal experience with gaming on my own device was in my XT PC
Karateka, Prince of Persia, TestDrive, California Games, Stunts, Indiana Jones, Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Golden Axe man I had fun with that computer
I remember the thrill of getting a copy of a new game and not knowing if it was going to run or not
First console I had was the SNES, I bought it my own money and sold it when I got a 486 PC, which was also a ton of fun
I wish I could feel as excited with gaming today as I felt back then, but it's impossible because now I'm a bored spoiled middle aged man.

I still play a lot of retro games but I do miss the enthusiasm I had for them as a kid. I guess as you get older you don't get as excited as you used to. Sad

Absolutely. My PS5 console looks like some kind of alien technology compared to older consoles.
I do! (learn how to pretend) ;)
Here is that console in its home with me. Also, check out the smilie face the sun is making on that watering can. :D

Say hi to Francine, Steve, Haley, and Klaus, but please tell Roger to leave the planet if he knows what's good for him.

I recently got back into the Dark Souls series. Never gets old. DS1 has been remastered so it’s not so clunky.

I didn’t think that you were old enough to remember Master Blaster!? That was a real step-up from PAC man and Mrs PAC man.
Around the same time, early 80’s, they have two significant additions to the gaming hype: Kangaroo and Kung Fu street fighter. Tops!
