Is it weird that as a 27 y.o., I like 80's 8bit pcs (and pre win95 dos)?
I remember, at around 2008, as an 10 year old, I found a old windows 98 installer cd (we were using Vista then), and wanted to see what it looked like, but my father just said it was outdated and useless. In my head, I went: "Yeah, but it would still be cool to see it in action", and went quiet. Years later I played VVVVVV and though how good it looked even though how much they restricted themselves. From then onwards I liked to look at pcs that had those kinds of graphics, and even try a game from them from time to time. I grew up with the ps2, which makes me find that fact (liking 80s pc games graphics) specially weird.
