Is it normal i started playing old videogames this year?

Like, I never had nintendo.
I am a huge gaming fan and the first console I owned was playstation1.

Like when I was 6 my favourite game was crash bandicoot, and it stays in my mind up to this point in time,all the levels memories etc.

Recently I downloaded few emulators (console simulators)and downloaded some old games that were popular back then to check what I was missing out.

I downloaded castlevania (and some others) and actually I got into the game
completed it,and downloaded some of the other ones that were avaiable.
And now I'm a huge fan of the franchise, and I was kind of sad that I didn't play it as a kid, beacuse if I did,by now I would have such a nostalgic memories.

Do anyone else thought this way before?
or is it just me....

    I first got an interest for the Atari when I was reading an old book from the 80s that i got from my uncle. I saw the atari in there and wanted to get one. I finally got one from a friend of mine when i was 12, and loved it ever since.

    My first console was a Snes, and a playstation after that, and I still like to play those as well.

    I got all sorts of old game emulators on my laptop: for the atari, pc-DOS, n64, SNES, NES, etc.

    the book was called "How Things Work" (national Geographic, 1983.) the title is a red and green neon light

    Absolutely. There had to be something about them that made people want to play them back then, so it only makes sense that there's still some magic left in them for today too.

  • This is so normal and think about it. If it wasn't normal, emulators wouldn't exist and people wouldn't bother with the games for them.

    The classics are the best lol
