Do you play old school games?

I may be the only one but I like the games that usually get ripped to shreds by online reviewers.
Well, that's unlikely. Personally, I'm an elitist jerk and I tend to prefer AAA games. It's the graphics. I may be half magpie, but it's the shiny. I can't not look at the shiny. Same goes for special editions and the Game of the Year bundles.

We had a Sega Genesis. Jenny could speedrun Sonic II in about 30 minutes. We also had Jurassic Park. Probably still would have it, except we also had toddlers who accidentally dumped a bag of sugar on it, then tried to clean up with a wet washcloth.

*big damn sigh*

To this day, I still play Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. I like to create little scenarios when I play that, like back stories. It's almost like playing Dungeons and Dragons with myself.
Hell, I'll do this at the store. I've also been known to just stand in the middle of an aisle making notes and laughing at my own jokes.
 
I've got custom-built retro gaming computers tuned for everything from early-90s to late-2010s, PC and Mac...

...I spend so much time building and tuning them I never get around to actually playing any retro games.
