Kid Icarus OR...

[More:]

Games that were fun when I was a kid but now I play them and say to myself "wtf?"

weretable broke out the emulator today. I hooked up my PS1 controller via a Radio Shack adapter to the USB port and found it worked very well for SNES and NES games.
Pong! ; >

(and then in HS, a friend had atari Space Invaders and in candy stores, Pacman and Centipedes and Galaga and stuff)

oh, my ed in chief's nephew was in the office on fri and had a black psp--so cool--all disc-based (little cds) and he had movies too.

Those little CDs freak me out. They're like the ones in Clockwork Orange.

Spy Hunter, Deathchase, Harrier Attack...

A while ago, I stumbled upon a site dedicated to ZX Spectrum (but not only) remakes. I tried to find a game that I really liked but can't remember the name of (you had to build robots to capture factories in order to capture more factories...it was fun), but couldn't find it. Then I decided to check out some of my old favourites -- and discovered that they weren't half as fun as they used to be.

I used to love beat-em-ups. Bad Dudes, Total Carnage, Streets of Rage, etc. Not only has that genre almost completely disappeared, but those games, these days, don't seem very good.
