I already saw this same gag on a webcomic but I can't remember where and when (but surely a while ago), for a moment I thought it was here but if it was I can't find what was the title and when it was done and posted.

@Elyseon: Konami is a Pachinko business, now. They aren't going under until Japan outlaws Gambling.

Also, future kid needs to back the fuck off, Green Haired Dad is furiously masterbating.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I mean, I seriously loved Magic and Mayhem, right until the last mission. Friendly NPC dies= game over. It was bearable until said last mission where difficulty makes a serious spike and you get 3 friendly NPCs walking around the map to "compensate".

@Nroejb well, my experience is different.
X-COM: Apocalypse is almost playable... until it crashes and you realize there is no autosave there.
Silent Storm takes way too much time to calculate opponents movement.
There was also ancient magic RPG Magic and Mayhem with suicidal AI. Great game.

actually games in the past apparently ran at 60 fps so...yeah
Games have taken 2 steps back

@White Rice - Huh... well, I did know that there is, in fact, a Konami corporate office in Las Vegas.

Fuck Konami and Capcom. When they go under, they'll only have themselves to blame.

@Frid
Can't agree, when it comes to NES/SNES/DOS-PC 2D era, there are several games I can still play, like Ufo: Enemy Unknown (though the Remake is almost as good), Tactics Ogre: Let us cling Together, Sim City 2000, Colonisation and Masters of Magic to only name these I play all the time

@Xuncu: Also a pachinko machine. It has an absurd looking trailer, but is still simply a pachinko game (that's partially being supported/funded by a fragrance company?)

This explains why I saw a Konami van at the new casino when it was opening: gambling hardware (wasn't aware of that branch)

"Castlevania "Erotic Violence" thing "-- the WHAT?!

@Frid: depends on the old game, play zombies ate my neighbors for instance, or metal warriors or mario kart, contra 3 or stuff

pong could get bothersome quick, but tetris is always ok, now many old games are trash, but so are many current ones

@bugleader: Your life.

Have you actually tried playing any old games?
In my experience every time I try to remind myself of nostalgic feeling of an old game, it takes me like 20 minutes to realize how horrible the game is.
Thank god for Steam refunds.

The joke is that teenagers are always jerks?

Pachinko is a gamble game, right? If in a normal pachinko you lost your money, what you will lose on a Silente Hill one?

There will always be nostalgia, there will always be something shiny & new; parents/older people will always wonder what's the matter with "kids these days" and kids/younger people will always complain about parents/older people "not getting it"

Much like life, complaining finds a way.

future is near

Of course, the "Damn Kids These Days" mentality isn't any better.

@Matthew Horstman: It's either that or people who think some things are better because they're old

I can't stand people who think that something is bad just because it's old.

panel before this : Geez dad, how can you enjoy radio broadcast? It's 1955, get with the times.

Is that mean pachinko "Silent Hill"?

And that's why VR is dumb and stupid.
