Crypto Markets Driving You Mad? Stick on a Game and Zone Out...
I need a break. Or more like, something else to put my focus on. I'm done watching movies and television shows. Especially after the horrid aftertaste that the last season of GoT left behind. So I thought why not turn the clock back and play a select few video game gems from yesteryear that I never got around to playing, for one reason or another. Getting lost in a fictional game world and actual having some fun? Where do I sign up, lol. So after flicking through some classics of old, I found the perfect title. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past...
Fine, I know I'm late to the party. But better late than never, as they say. I started playing last night in the wee small hours of the night. Well, 11pm to be more precise. Before I knew it, hours had flown by and I was immersed in the intriguing lore, the cool characters and overall virtual world. I tell you, games back then were like works of fine art. Remember, a game on the SNES was usually around one megabyte of data in total! That's a 3.5 floppy disk, if anyone even knows what that is anymore! An astounding achievement compared to today where "gigs" are scattered about the place like confetti.
But yeah, diverting attentions away from stuff that causes stress and migraines to reliving a timeless and carefree period of your life, once more. Another great thing about games of old is that they were "the" whole game. No DLC's or micro transaction nonsense of the modern, money-hungry era of today. Look at Final Fantasy VII, for example. The new game looks astounding and offers graphics so good they make your eyes water. But then you soon discover that it'll be episodic in nature. So expect Square Enix to milk that cow drier than a McVities Tea Biscuit buried in the Sahara. You be better off playing the original and bugging out on all that awesome nostalgic excellence.
So yeah, I finally get to play a classic game I've always wanted to at a time when I could really use it. The missus is upstairs binging out on Love Island so, from my perspectives, that's killing two birds with one stone. She's busy in that horror show whilst I'm content doing my own thing. Hope this title is long though. Come to think of it, I never did check how long this game takes the average gamer to complete.
