@RextheSheep The thing with that is that by adding chips far beyond what was capable (or commercially affordable at the time.) it ceases to be impressive as you're just bruteforcing the solution.
It's like being a billionaire and using your weath to buy all the best gear instead of earning them through hard work and effort, it all rings a bit hollow.
Acclaim ressurected by a bunch of laughing joking numbnuts? You know, I feel like there's some clever witty joke in there somewhere but I'll leave it up to some other valiant soul to find it.
In general, I play older games because modern gaming lost its way somewhere around 2003 and, outside of indie games and smaller niche titles, has become increasingly less enjoyable with every passing year, so I revert to games that remain unaffected by the changes that have made mainstream videogames so unappealing to me.
Then there's the fact that I'm now able to play all of the video games I never got chance to when I was younger as well as games I didn't even know existed at the time. I have no nostalgic attachment to any of these games and yet some of them have become all time favourites.
Having said that, however, there are those rare days — usually when I'm ill — where I want nothing more than boot up old games I grew up with and pretend like I'm 8 years old all over again.

Re: This "Lost" Zelda Commercial Is A Million Times Better Than The Ones Nintendo Gave Us
Deceptive headline and misleading copy.
This isn't 'lost'. It's not been unearthed after decades and isn't even a recreation of an unmade design, it's a modern fan animation.
It's well made and all but the headline and copy are blatantly false.

@TransmitHim It was a real thing. Here is a clip from a BBC show in 1983 where they talk about downloading software OTA:
