The world has gone into a complete transformation. If you are a kid from the 90s era, this will seem relatable to you. An era of cartoons, pop songs and of course older dos games. And these are the same games for which we never even bothered to fight with our siblings. Well, it does seem like an era now talking about it.

Old DOS games or Old Retro Games are no more used for playing. The current modified games have taken over the old game era. The modified versions are much pleasing to the eyes and easier to play, the magic of retro games was different. So, let's take a trip down to the memory lane and explore, relive the domain of dos games.

Why Classic Games Are Better Than The Modern Game?

People who are above 30 years old they can remember the golden days of classic games. At that time game were simple like our life. I still remember the DOS game which is used to playing those days, that was a golden moment for me, yes I agree modern day’s gaming graphic, technologies are very much advanced but there is a spark of classic old dos games. At that time online gamers like me they didn’t have much interest to discuss social and political issues when it comes to discussing the game. In my school and college days, games were simple with thin plots.

You can see many people who are not much familiar with the classic games and taking interest most in the modern game. They say modern games are far better than modern games due to the technology development which allowed users to provide an awesome experience that we never had before from the classic game. Yes, it is true that graphics and technology are far better in modern games but my opinion is classic games are not less than modern games.

It Is A Balanced Range Of Genres

Many people will disagree with my point, but trust me if you look closer you can understand why it is true. All the old classic games console a wide range of genres which is available for the gamers rather than the modern days.

Old Classic Games Were Focused On The Single Player

It is the 21st century, and in this age, technology has reached far beyond our knowledge. People who are game lover they have found their favorite time. With the advancement of internet and technology, modern games are all multiplayer game. If you are thinking to play alone that is a little bit tough as you have to search for a long time and most importantly you have to wait for your partner to play. According to your convenience it difficult to play alone, but classic games were built in such a way one can play single-handedly. For this reason, I rely on the classic old dos games.

More variety and a myriad of storylines

The graphics in case of Old Dos Games weren't as appealing as in the present game video games. Yet the retro games provided a variety of concepts to explore. The present gen video games have similar features and almost same storyline. With technological advancements, newer concepts no more explored. Now it all about enticing graphics and the leeway to start where one had left last.

The levels were much more difficult

The yesteryear retro games weren't an easy nut to crack. They presented an immense storyline backed by a difficult gameplay. The levels were no easy to get away with a blink of the eye. In addition, gamers had to be extra cautious while playing. A single wrong step may land one back again to the start.

At the same time, the games had multiple levels to cross before the player emerges victory. These levels were not as simple as they seem to be. For crossing them one required dedication and an eye for detail.

Affordable And Accessible

I know this point can be a topic of controversy, but I cannot miss out such an important point. Have you ever notice how much money you have spent over the modern computer game, but the classic games were much more affordable than the modern games. In our early days each and every person had an addiction to playing a computer game, even we used to go to the cafe too to play the game but now the price is high and it is not at all accessible.

Everybody moves forward with time and age. The games in the late 80s and early 90s had a different charm. The concept of the DOS games, were the life of old DOS games. It seems like an attraction made by the idea or concept that drifted to mostly on the better side of these games. The concepts were totally new, the idea was brilliant. Present day the games end up having high-level graphics, which seem very catchy in eyes. Having few high rated components like joysticks and consoles seems to have an utter experience. Whereas games in early times no having such graphics do focuses on the creativity and art of making it, which we are losing it.
