Re: Poll: Are Game Boy Games Still Worth Playing In 2023?

@cmbaum I'd be a hypocrite to say I am as well, as I used them to (finally) beat TMNT (NES version) on the Cowabunga Collection..
For the main part though, I try to avoid them. I'm less against them if I'm using them to legitimately beat a game..

@cmbaum I totally get you on that, while also feeling if possible retro games should be experienced on the original hardware where possible for the authenticity..

Also feel (dare I say it) that having save states/rewind functions can cheapen some of the brutally old games from the past, where the only way to finish them was to 'git gud' (I also acknowledge that having the option to do the above is just that - an option - and giving gamers the choice isn't a bad thing, but I feel that it can take 'something' out the experience..

For me, I enjoy the games I grew up playing - started playing games back in 1989 so NES/Game Boy games don't feel as outdated to me as games on the Atari 50 Collection for example..
I think it might be more a case of what era of games you first started playing which dictates a lot of how you feel towards retro titles...
