There was this pizza shop in Seattle's Chinatown that had an Atari set up with two controllers. Genuine fun playing pong, boxing and that tank versus game (Combat, I think) while eating pizza with beers and bros. The best games are timeless.
NES era is when it starts getting iffy for me. There's some classics but a lot of the catalog is just painful to play at this point. Anything before that is no-go. Being locked in a room with nothing but an Atari is my idea of gaming hell.
Yeah anything before the NES era is basically a gimmick, and I say this as someone who grew up playing the NES and stuff like the Atari 5200 and C64. The physical data storage limits prevent deep gameplay from being possible.
Obviously it's good to seek out old systems and games if for nothing else than for broadening one's experience and appreciating history, but autism sets in quickly beyond that point.
What's it called? Though DOS is not that old. It's from 81. Old text adventures are pretty enjoyable as the genre has always been mostly limited by the writers ability rather than any tech or something.
>Robotnik's machines get more and more ridiculous. Why doesn't he just shoot Sonic?
I remember some old Newgrounds flash movie where he actually came up with that idea and got a shotgun.
But yeah, that's not a very honest sportsmanship.

game is actually a lot of fun to try and master
if this was set up at a bar or something like this anon it would surely catch some attention
I don't know what's up with people who don't like Pacman and Robotron 2084 at least, wtf
Robotron 2084 looks fun but Pacman get's boring really quick in my opinion.
>Doesn't have 8+ hour Pacman marathons on a regular basis

Robotron 2084 probably.
pong
Hero for the 2600

I had fun a few weeks ago trying to figure out a DOS text adventure from 1978, so I'm up for anything.

I like quite a few Atari games. Yar's Revenge sticks out to me.
Honestly, pong is reasonably fun two players.
Galaxian on fc
Robotron 2084
If you don't enjoy it its because you haven't played it
Frogger on ColecoVision.
Zoomers never played local multiplayer and can’t understand the appeal of classic Atari games with a friend or sibling
I can enjoy some 2600 games, but the arcade versions are almost always better.
Anything before Sonic and Street Fighter II is a wash.
nes/famicom and master system games but pitfall is fun every now and then at least
