Comment on Anyone else avoiding gaming consoles past 8th gen?

Yes. I still play games for the Atari 2600 sometimes, especially with all the new user-made content coming out. What was that considered… 2nd gen? (ditto for the C64, a semi-console)
Also a few Super-Nintendo Chalmers titles, which I guess would be 4th gen? That was almost the perfect era to me, because the mix of memory, graphics and CPU were perfectly sufficient to pull off any number of good, fundamental games.
Better graphics were never really needed via later consoles IMO… except when it came to FPS-type games. One of the few arguments for more pixels and color depth, but obviously I date myself. XD
