Omg. Did I just spam blog? Oh noes. Well, I'm sorry. But I think you should know more about me. So without further ado. I shall put up my flamer sheilds, for my fragile ego and start blogging.
So, I will start where it all began. May 20th, 1994. I popped out my mummy's vagina and was bought into this cruel, cruel world. Yes, that means I'm only just turning 15. Big whoopie. I'm not a veteran gamer, but I sure have a lot of time. I was born in Portsmouth, Southern England, Hampshire, U.K, Europe, Earth. I have been raised in a nearby town called Gosport for 14 years. Until 3 months ago when i moved out here to Australia.
My gaming started when I was about 5-ish. When I got my PS1 and "Disney Action games: Hercules" Which honestly wasnt bad, when I was 5. I still remember that godamn 3 headed dragon boss. Grr. Then a few years later, I got my GBC. I was so exited and played Pokémon Blue forever. I fucking own at Pokémon Blue, fucking own. Then at somepoint got my PS2, GBA, GBA SP, GC and then my DS. Oh and about 2 years ago I got my 360.
I really enjoyed Platformers, puzzles and RPGs. Recently I've become an absolute Rythm game fan. Which only started becuase of my Guitar Hero obsession. Shooters are fun too. But what I really enjoy getting into is a good "retro" game. Becuase I never played them in there prime, it's great to experiance what everyone loved. With an open mind, I often get really hooked in an old RPG (Recently engaged with Chrono Trigger and Street Fighter 2 (Super, turbo))
I dont take gaming too seriously. I'm not a fanboy of any console/ company. I just enjoy gaming. It's a fun pastime, theres bad games, theres good games. Meh. Oh, my name Is Carl.
I live near an up-to-date arcade, so I often get to experiance all the new Arcade games. I'm returning to Tekken 6 Bloodliine Rebellion at the moment. So yeah, looking foward to being part of the Dtoid community. Hazzah!
G'night peeps.

It's not pleasant.
As someone who wasn't around when these games were in their prime, what do you think of the difficulty level on some retro games? I'm thinking stuff like Contra, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, etc. Are they too frustrating for newer gamers to get into?
@Char
Finding working ones is hard enough. Besides that, Newer gamers usually just get into the recent games. Well at least thats how I think most new gamers get in it.
