Ah nostalgia is a rare thing in some games, the old Arcade games that was challenging and made things so much harder, the games like Megaman(Rockman), ghost and goblins and the game Battle toad

Such games are hard and challenging but they was games that really made the modern day games now, think about it...
If DOOM was never made, would FPS be the same? Would RPGs and JRPGs separated if only one type was made rather then both setting the norm by pokemon or the elder scrolls!

Even pac man had huge impression on the gaming world, So next time you play a game, think... "what game made this game the norm"
what mechanics, elements, style was made by games before it!
Like a story will reuse gimmicks of writing, but the small changes add up and where did the stories of huge come from, well... I would say games like metal gear solid for the PS1 or the FF (final fantasy) games made Story normal in modern day games like Skyrim, Splinter cell and Gears of war,Even Call of duty came from this


So think what games in your past do you remember for the PS1, N64, or earlier consoles!
