Retro Games: The Classics We All Love and Why

What is it about the word “retro” that gives us all the warm fuzzies whenever we think of it? There must be something about the past where things appear rosy, misty, and hopeful. A happier time, perhaps? Simpler times too? Whatever the reason, people can’t stop playing retro games – and for good reason. Did you ever think a game like Super Mario Bros, Tetris, or Galaga would ever go out of style?

These are the types of games that can provide endless hours of fun – and they are some of the predecessors of the most popular games many of us play today. The games of the 70s and 80s aren’t just about some mind-numbing trip down memory lane – some of the genres biggest fans weren’t even born yet. It’s more than that. Nostalgia can also improve mental well being. In a world besieged with life-like graphics and virtual reality, sometimes we crave a simple kind of life and game for that matter.

Retro games still going strong

There’s just an innate joy that comes with playing a game from yesteryear. Consider this: Tetris recently turned 35 and it’s still as popular as ever. If you’ve ever played any of the Candy Crush games, then you may want to give Tetris a try – it’s the pioneer.

For those who were alive in those decades, reconnecting with retro games is one way to relive old memories. For example, some gamers may have memories of playing those very games with parents and loved ones. So, playing Mario Kart again or Sonic connects them to nostalgic feelings. Not to mention, they’re just pure fun.

The classics never get old but the latest accessories make them better

If you grew up in the 70s or 80s, then you certainly didn’t have cloud gaming or discs or even the Internet. You probably didn’t have all the accessories we have today either. Yet, you certainly should enjoy the classics but why not amp them up a bit with some much-needed accessories to enjoy an experience you’ve never had before?

For example, if you were playing Pac-Man on Xbox Live Arcade, then you can get the full arcade experience with a headset to really immerse yourself into all the wonderful sounds of the 40-year-old game. Who hasn’t heard of Pac-Man, and you can select a great gaming headset from this curated list of Xbox gaming headsets in order to bring high quality audio to retro games. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a pellet-like snack to emulate Pac-Man and freeze-dried ice cream pellets would be an excellent choice.

They’re so approachable

Another aspect of retro games is that they are fairly easy to learn. The rules are often very straightforward, and the tasks are obvious. They’re not as complicated as some of our contemporary games. So, they are fun for gamers of all ages. You can sit down and play for an hour and feel like you’ve had a truly rewarding time.

In conclusion

There isn’t any doubt that retro games simply put a smile on your face. What are some of your favorite retro games?
