I like both. There's a lot of good old games and there are a lot of good new games too. I still play some old games, but I use my PS2 fairly often as well, so I'd say I like both equally. |

The old stuff is just more challenging and imaginative. |

I like both Old and New. New games have given me joy just as the old ones have. |

I like the old SNES and NES games, they remind me of old careless days when I was much younger. Also my favourite FF was on the NES and my favourite Mario was on SNES which are my favourite games  . |

New games are flashier, a lot of fun, but somehow more shallow. I think it's just because they have to be easier to be in 3-d, as most new ones are. (Note the penis-severing difficulty of next-gen 2-d games like Ikaruga. Aaaugh! My gonads!!) But that always happens right after a technological bar-raising. Next-gen games are getting more complex, more tightly knit, and deeper every year. This trend can be seen in the old school systems too.
Just look at the lifespan of the Super NES. Example: the difference between Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. Bickering about the different merits of both games aside, the first one was graphically simpler, and had a more stable base. (NOTE!!! I AM NOT SAYING EITHER ONE IS BETTER!!!) Yoshi's Island had much more texture, and some ridiculously challenging variety. (Touch fuzzy, get dizzy! Remember? They even tweaked the music and made his eyes bug out a la psylocibin!) I guess I'm just trying to say that different doesn't mean better or worse, but games are definitely improving (if that makes sense). |

Oldskool games! They were the most original games I've ever played, and 8-bit kicks arse.  |

Actually, I believe that's the general opinion of me on this board...
Although I don't recognize your username...was it something else at the old board...?

And I do hope you know in that post I was jokingly being sarcastic, since I was looking forward to making a topic basically just like this.
And I think Mighty Kefka just spoke from the bible, so true... |

Old games had horrible graphic engines, so they had to concentrate on gameplay to sell. New games have great graphic engines, so they can sell even with horrible gameplay. Thus, the old games are better. |

I'd have to say both. While I love my C64 like a little brother and my Megadrive, there are good games coming out for PS2 and all that. I think there's not such thing as a 'Golden Age' of gaming, every console had the excellent games and the so-bad-they're-really-bad ones. |

Both hands down.
I like some newer games than the older ones in some series and the older ones in others...
But in general it's both.  |

I perfer the old video games, mostly because I like the old style gameplay. The snes games that I like are Mario All-Stars and Zelda Lttp, one of the best classics ever. |

the old ones had the best classics and my fav games too, which i enjoy until today. SNES is my fav ever, and some NES games are pretty good (all the 6 megaman games ).
but there's some new stuff cool as well, c cross rocks, i finished long time ago and i miss it as i miss C Trigger's times (CT is much better imo, tho )
And those new FFantasies at PS2 must be awesome, but i havent had the opportunity to play them already  |

When I was eating dinner tonight I was thinking "I'll make a poll, Retrogaming vs Next-Gen Gaming, I'm sure Banedon will like it."
Well you beat me.
But I must say, the only recent next gen game I have bought would be Ninja Gaiden. Now compare that to what I have bought for my Snes within this last month, FFIII, StarFox, Jurassic Park, Killer Instinct, KIrby's Superstar, Mario Kart, and F-Zero and been playing my Snes like mad.
Yep, Snes owns. = Retro powered.
But I do play some new games, but not recently. |

It is all about the old. I play my NES more than i play PS2 or Xbox or GC. |

definately both, i have xbox, ps2 and snes all hooked up to the same tv. Older games were made less to make money and more to be a good game regardless of how much it may sell. Ill play rainbow6:3 for 2 hours and then go on a firepower2000 binge, i love that game. |

There's a lot of great old games and a lot of great new games.
Basically there's been great games made all throughout history, so you can easily pick and choose. I prefer old... but as long as it's not too complex, I'll play it. |

Probably both... older games were definately a decent challenge compared to some stuff that comes out today, but there the new ones just seem to last longer for me. |
