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!”


There was a period there just before the console was discontinued when they tried this style for some Dreamcast packaging in Japan; full-bleed photographs where only the little orange corner logo gave away the branding.
It was wild for a little while after I moved here, picking through secondhand game stores and thinking I’d found some (to me) new treasure, only for it to turn out to be a common Dreamcast accessory in this style of packaging. One of the most unusual is the main console box with a photo of Sega’s President at the time, Hidekazu Yukawa. He was the “Public Face of Dreamcast” in Japan for a short time. But although it’s unusual, it’s not uncommon, and it contained a completely standard Dreamcast console.
