Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?

3 monthsLike 15 years ago my wife had one of these and she was a teacher f0r 12-13 yo and one of them asked “what is that” and other answer “an iphone, the really old ones, was not even a phone yet”. That interaction still haunts my wife.

I think that’s a Minilogue. 4 voice poly instead of mono. Not bad, but a little generic sounding and very few modulation options.

It is indeed a monologue. It’s my first synth as a guitar player. Just something to play around with

I think 25 years is plenty long enough.
The Atari 2600 was newer when the first iPod was released than the first iPod is now.

I was originally going to compare it to the NES, and then I realised that I needed to go back a lot further…
Being a Millennial and older now is like what being a 500 year old immortal would have been back when it took that long to see meaningful technological change.

Exactly.
Imagine a 13 year old kid now-gtav is the same age as them and they’re still playing it.
Thats the crazy thing. Advancment peaked.
Imagine playing a 13 year old game in the ps1 era. WAY different.

I remember the first time I really sat down and played (and finished) the original Legend of Zelda was in the late 90s, well into the PS1 era and 11-13 years after the game was released. Although admittedly, I was a bit older than 13.
Good games are always good games. Once someone is mature enough to see past the historical limitations, they don’t seem to matter nearly as much. Last year I saw some tweens commenting about how PS3 games are “unplayable” now, and I laughed. Yeah, that’s why no-one plays chess or poker any more. “You mean you have to use your hands? That’s like a baby’s game!”

Omg. I used that exact bttf quote a few weeks ago for something similar!!
Graphics have never mattered to me. They’re a party trick.
