Its nostalgia and hype dude. That's what makes a game fun. If everyone called Zelda complete shit from the get go and it was marketed as a shitty game that only shit heads played, idc if you're the prince of darkness, you wouldn't have found it fun. And if somehow your luciferican soil did enjoy the game, you'd feel shame from feeling so much fun from a game that everyone else explicitly calls a piece of terd.
The he aruement is cute and we all think you're just the cutest thing for playing devils advocate. But don't play yourself. It's pretty obvious you're drawing straws and frankly it's kind of sad :/
Are you honestly saying nostalgia makes a game fun, or that sarcasam? Hard to tell with you.
But yes, Zelda was fun when I first played it, before people told me it was fun. My grandma bought it for me for Christmas, so I played it before anyone told me about it. I'm a big boy who can decide what's fun on my own, hence my list of mame games for Magus that no one ever talks about but are all awesome.
And for the record, I'm also one who likes ET. With the exception of the whole "space ship won't land with the FBI guy on the screen" bs, I have no issues with this game, dispite it's hype. And I think superman on atari is worse than on n64, but they both suck balls, as does rise of the robots.
Also, I collect C64 stuff. The average C64 game is about $20, with a ton of them $50-100+. There's no C64 collecting hype, at least none I see. I don't think "Oh, I should buy forbidden forest cause people talk about it", I bought it cause it's fucking awesome, and was made by cosmi of all people. Mother fuckin cosmi, the shovelware people of the 2000s, and I find that to be awesome. I collect demon attack stuff because it has some of the best cover artwork ever; silver flying godzillas with missles. There's no hype, no nostalgia (The game actually scared the crap out of me as a kid and I hated it; go figure), just I like what was produced and I want a copy of it to look at when needed.
