I love the old feelings that...Wondeful piece Jorge. I love the old feelings that some games reawaken in me. Though I've been wanting to play Mortal Kombat to relive those old memories of sneaking out to the arcade and playing the only game my mother knew the name of (due to the media attention, of course), my recent experience was playing 'Splosion Man. The old school mechanics of timing and button pressing reawoke memories of playing NES games in my cousin's basement in CT. It wasn't one particular game that it reminded of, but the short, rewarding, and occasionally frustrating mechanics of old school gaming. I've tried other games that are similar in design (Super Meat Boy, N+,..) but none captured the feel as much as 'Splosion Man. Playing it, I could almost smell the musty cellar and wood burning stove. Grand and immortal indeed sir.
