The whole 8-bit retro thing has gone a little too far. Half the people who peddle this stuff never even played an 8 bit console, let alone owned one.

I don't know why people remember the Atari 2600 so fondly. I think I was 8 when my grandparents got one for me back around 1982-1983 and I remember when my dad first got it up and running I saw Combat and was disappointed. I didn't let it show, and I certainly played with the system a lot, but I knew from day one that the Atari 2600 was nothing but a 2-bit system far inferior to the arcades.

To me the NES was revolutionary because it was the first time I had ever seen arcade quality graphics on a home console.

I'm all for nostalgia, but isn't this a bit much? Some of the artwork doesn't have much to do with 8-bit anyway.

The 8-bit retro-craze is just running with the '80s retro craze that has run roughshod basically since 2004

In 10 years, you'll be seeing hordes of nostalgia for SNES, Genesis, T16, and Neo-Geo, while people listen to the Spice Girls in a nostalgia-induced haze

When will the realize being a nerd isn't about 8-bit gaming. It's about sitting around with your friends and talking about 8-bit gaming, 16-bit gaming, 32-bit gaming, 64-bit gaming, 128-bit gaming, and the future of fucking games. Let alone whatever else you want to talk about. Besides that, this nerd revolution thing is stupid as hell. Nerdcore is crappy music for those that take it seriously. Being a nerd, when I was a kid wasn't a badge, you just kinda did it and ignored others who told you otherwise. Now it's like, omgz your a nerd too? Let's exchage phone numbers lawlz
