I stumbled upon this article tonight
http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager....=0&cId=3142061
It's 3 pages, so I'm not gonna quote it all. Part of the article is about whether backwards compatibility is important to a system, or if people don't really care about it.
I was wondering how many PS2 gamers play PS1 games on the PS2.
DSer's, do you miss the ability to play gameboy/color games?
XBox owners, MS has said that they will offer "Backwards compatibiliy for top-selling games". Does that upset you?
Do you go back to old games on new systems? Sometimes? Often? Never?
Personally, I enjoy PS1 games still. Specifically when I have the boys over. We can whip out Street Fighter Alpha 3 or Rival Schools, or the many incarnations of DDR I have. Perfect Dark and Goldeneye are still popular in my circle, too. We do enjoy the newer games too, like Time Crisis 3 or Hot Shots Golf 3 (ok, not new, but PS2 don't got that large a desireable 2 player library, or I just don't).
I often still go back to FF7 and Chrono Trigger on PS1. I do kind of wish the PSP was backwards compatible with PS1/PS2 games, as a few of my friends thought it would be...
I didn't get the DS cuz I thought it was silly, and I knew I would't be able to play Galaga/Galaxian on it. I carry that game with my GBA games. There are plenty others I enjoy going back to. Mario Land 2, Links Awakening, Super Mario Bros. DX (like what they just released for GBA, but with extra content and the Lost Levels, in full and proper colour)
So, It's important to me. How about you?
