What makes a video game classic? Is it the year they were made? The childhood memories they brought upon Kids? These question are useless. I am going to tell you why ,any of you born before the 1990′s believe back then the games were the shit. For those of you who weren’t born before the 1990′s and are disappointed about no having those awesome games when you were kids, don’t be.

Only the good ones are still remembered:
That’s right when you think games from earlier on you think Super mario brothers, Contra, Megaman 2, Etc. But remember not all those games we good. In fact a good sum of those were shitty. Anyone remember super marios two? the one where you would get to the end and find out it was all a dream? Did that piss you off as much as me? Am I over using question marks? I think I’ve made my point.

In 10 years what will be “classic”: That’s to say if the earth is still around by then. What games would you tell your children about? Maybe games like Halo and Call of duty will be done with production and Activision will call it quits. You sit there complaining about how video games aren’t what they used to be. But you have to take account that they just got better, but you and your stubborn generation can’t admit that, isn’t that right gramps?

Modern people think classic means super old!: We all must admit that the word classic can mean many things but people still have the assumption that it’s just age that makes something classic “these fossils are a classic!” (well, they don’t say that but you get the point.) All I’m saying here is that a classic is something from before that was deemed popular at the time and has continued to receive some sort of popularity. Fun fact: By 2030 pacman will be gone. The only reason pacman is still praised is because those who played it still live. By 2030 that generation will be gone, leaving halo fans and World of Warcraft nerds alike left to call something classic.
