New games with next gen graphics are not always better. Sometimes it's the old games with 16-bit graphics are the best. Not because modern games are suck, but because old games have something that modern games doesn't have. What is that? It's the nostalgic feeling, did you remember that time when you finally catch Mewtwo in cerulean cave? Or maybe you still remember that time when you have to save Princess Peach in Bowser castle? Just like everyone said graphics don't matter, it's the story that matter.

Before there was PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Wii. We used to be play video games on some of the great old consoles like Gameboy Advanced, NES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and many else. There are no 4K graphics or 60 fps back then, but we still enjoyed it. And sometimes we still missed them. Who doesn't remember that time when you sitting in front of the TV with your friends playing games for an hour? Or maybe you still remember that time when you have to blow your cartridge or spin the disc before putting it into the console? Well if you still missed it, don't worry because there are lots of emulator out there.
