Remember the cartridge days? Absolute silence.

Hell... the NES and SNES were solid as rock, we don't have to worry how long we play. Now we actually need to worry about if we are playing too long or not.... Jeez! Since when did gaming became a chore?

Since PSX I guess

the gaming industry need to return back to the old cartridge days,since we have solid drives nowadays,by using solid drives manufactures can reduce the cost of a gaming console(less mechanical inside eg.blu ray drive/dvd drive).

PSX.....
I can still see continuation of SNES spirit on many games,
especially RPG on PSX.
Saturn's hits were mainly arcade hits.

haa..i guess u forgot about having to finish a game in one sitting (the NES era b4 the invention of the password system)..

OMG..I'm almost at the final boss..suddenly POWER FAILURE!! No saves!!!

What??? Have to repeat all over again??!!!

even the time with faulty catridge (aka pirate one...some even ori one happen too)...during play time..suddenly game hangs on you...have to pull it out and tiup2

every era hv its quirks...we just dun wan to remember it

yup....i rmbr always have to blow the btm part of the catridge and insert it..if it doesnt load...repeat the same step again..XD

I remember completing a RPG in 1 sitting because of that, from 8a.m. to 10 p.m.

True.... true.

But atleast I don't have to worry about my system giving me the finger and going red-ring on me and never to play a single game on it anymore..... yea I'm calling you out, mr.360.
