Did I buy the remake of THPS 1+2? Yes.

Do I suck at the games now because I'm too old? sobs

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 21 points 10 months ago (3 children)

In your defense they changed the controls!

The timing on reverts feels way different to me.

Idk, the graphics might be too distracting for me.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

My system isn't new enough to play Zork Zero and those newfangled graphical zorks

The remake was awesome. Captured that same feel and made my hand hurt. Though my PS1 controller was way sturdier than the PS4 controller I now played with, since the latter broke lol

I was 23 when that came out.

I see they must have fixed the wifi at the nursing home today, huh?

That's enough information superhighway for you.

You youngens and your "Tony Hoe's Prawn Skater".

Back in the olden days "Skate Or Die" reigned supreme on our "Nintendos*" and we loved it. :-P

*There was no reason to clarify which "Nintendo" console, because there was no Gameboy/SNES, yet. Of course our parents would call all the consoles "Nintendos", even the C64 and the Master System - but what would you expect from the same people, that thought the "Turbo" button would always boost their 386s (when sometimes it did the complete opposite), because they didn't read any manuals. :-P

Ok boomer

(I am probably the same age)

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I felt old, now I feel older

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Oh my god, I forgot about Skate or Die. Sometimes I'd just leave it on the title screen for the awesome music (haha...)

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Thps introduced a whole generation of kids to punk rock.

I'll always love goldfinger superman.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To this day, I'll search for "like tony hawk pro skater" instead of "punk rock" or "ska" when looking for mixes.

shakes atari 2600 at the sky and garbles something incomprehensible

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Tony's 55. He's right there with us.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some of us actually played that old ass system, including the infamous ET game.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Indeed. I'm one of them. I actually still have it, it still works, and I still occasionally play games on it. The first time I introduced my nephew to the controllers was the first time he experienced true rage.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

What's this newfangled Tony Hawk crap?

I played Pac Man on my Atari 2600 and I LIKED it.

Oof. Tell whoever is typing on the computer for you that they're doing a great job.

Yeh but if you played it on the N64, you were practically a youngin' compared to us old timers playing it on the PlayStation.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that whole 6 month difference in release between the two.

The real difference here is using the PS anologue sticks to play instead of the N64 stick

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember the 1900s. Good times.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

I rage at thee.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I played it on the PS1 I think.

It was my PS1, that I bought with my money... because I was an adult.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I used to fuck my cousin up on River Raid

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago

Man the first half of that sentence fucked me up

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

River Raid, is that in Alabama?
