oops, messed up the episode number. Can a mod take care of that, or enable deleting threads?

After watching this episode it makes me wonder how great games like Super Metroid could be ported to this current generation of players. Will they respond the way I did back in the day. I think of my 14yr old nephew and wonder if this would resonate with him at all.

I TOTALLY remember playing Wolfenstein 3D when I was 7 on my 12" non-color, beige computer monitor. Where whenever Hitler and/or a wolf was around the corner, the red loading light would flash... giving me just enough time to prepare myself for a heart attack.
I don't think these remakes are meant to, necessarily, appeal to the younger generation... but we all know how cool it is to like things that are vintage (i.e., Atari). For most people who are fans of Atari, it was around WAY before they even were. Plus, it's like learning to appreciate history.
P.S. I just realized Wolfenstein 3D is the exact reason as to why I'm so obsessed with FPS.

Well, I must have been about 12 or 13 - but I think I played Wolf 3D for the first time on a tiny black and white 386 laptop without proper sound. It was still amazing!
But I gotta say - playing Doom for the first time was what really blew my mind (on a proper "multi media" PC with sound). It took me hours to download the shareware from a BBS - but it was so worth it. Me and my buddy literally huddled around the monitor and took turns at it for hours. It was totally mesmerizing, and there was something so visceral about the experience of playing Doom for the first time - I've never felt anything quite like it from a game since then.
...anyway great episode guys. 1994 was a damn good year, and I'm feeling super nostalgic for the 90s now for a variety of reasons. But specifically in terms of gaming - I think that was the golden age for me. Between the SNES and the innovations PC games went on in those years - it's hard to beat. Plus - my favorite game of all time came out right around 94: X-Com!! Still play it in DOSBox to this day.

Although I may not be the uber-Fangirl Jade is...I am glad to see Super Metroid get some shine. *jumps up and down and cries*
