New RPGs vs Old RPGs
I have a PS2, GameCube, Dreamcast, GBA, NES, and a Sega Genesis. Lately I’ve been playing old NES RPGs. I play them on emulators because my NES is on its last legs. Until I can get a new NES I’ll use roms.
The RPG I’ve been playing most is Ultima: Exodus. Its the first NES Ultima, but its actually the third in the Ultima series. It was created by Richard Garriot (also known as Lord British) in 1983 on the Apple II. That shows how old it is. I was 3 years old when the game came out. But even though its old, the graphics suck, and the sound is horrid, the game is rock solid. It’s actually the game that got me into RPGs.
Somehow most of the new RPGs don’t interest me like the once did. Maybe its because they dont get your imagination going like the old ones. With all the graphics and sound the new ones have it’s easy to play the game without using your imagination. I guess thats why I still love the old RPGs.
