Got Any Games? Gaming Nostalgia, History & Dev Life
summary
Personal arc from PS2 to Xbox Series S, naming Viva Piñata, Call of Duty 4, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and flash site funnygames.biz, plus Forza Motorsport 2, Total Miner/Castle Miner Z and Rome Total War; claim: mid‑tier licensed games disappeared and stores like Blockbuster closed so discovery collapses into free microtransaction titles and a few indies; concrete gripe: finds only Mafia 2 and older ports on the Series S, bought hardware on credit, and asks for specific modern mid‑tier or overlooked recommendations.
