Going back once more to Examiner.com, you have noticed that I've posted some older games (and I'm talking OLDER games; like DOS). You're probably wondering why I do this. Is it because I want to? Am I doing this to take an easy way out of reviewing games? Don't I keep up with the times? The answers to those questions, respectively, are no, no and yes. While I do keep up with the current games, I also like to play older games because those are the type of games I grew up with. I also do this so that I can expand horizons and let the readers know that those games ARE still out there. GOG.com has them for purchase (to an extent). Steam has them for purchase (again, to an extent). These older games shouldn't be ignored because without them, you wouldn't have your current generation console games. We'd still be in the era of the Video Game Crash of 1983. So if you still have your DOS games (the ones you had as a child growing up), I take my hat off to you (even though I don't wear hats). Another thing that DOS games had (besides TONS and TONS of first person shooters) was charm. These are the types of games that had that little something that's rarely seen in games today. I'm not saying that today's games are bad (believe me, some are quite good), I'm saying that these types of games don't have the same charm as DOS games did. Okay, I hope this clarified things up.
