In general all I really care about as far as original copies of

At least we aren't competing over titles. ;-)
Now here's the big question: is it just me, or are 8-bit games more
fun? I remember playing memorable titles like Conan and Zork when
I was a kid. I even remember playing side-scrollers like Commander
Keen on my PC (in my teens). But it seems as though the moment
the cheesy graphics were "improved", I lost all interest.
Has anyone else had this feeling that gameplay diminished (or, in
a few cases, simply became far too complex) around the mid-1990s?

I'm pretty sure it's just you... no not really.... That's probably why
there are places like AtariAge <http://www.atariage.com/>. (I'm
SuperPsycho in the forums there by the way)
I generally tend to play GS specific games on my IIgs.... Zany Golf is
one of my favorites... though I do play some 8-bit stuff on it.
I'm not really very picky.... I've got at least 23 different systems
(consoles and computers) spanning from 1976 to now. I do actually find
I play my 16-bit systems the most though. That and my NES and Atari
7800.. but when the NES is your biggest physical game collection (over
220 carts and counting) and you have a really cool little cart that
takes MMC cards and allows you to load almost any downloaded 2600 or
7800 game on to the actual system(7800) that's a given those systems
will see a fair ammount of play time.

by the way.. I wish I had over 220 NES games... that should say over 120
NES games.... wishfull thinking..... uncontious wishfull thinking...
