If you could bring back one thing about retro games what would it be?

One word ORIGINALITY

One word ORIGINALITY

Originality statistically tanks financially unless you do something simple. It -is- a business. Don't act like it's not a business or berate me for saying it's a business because it's a fuckin business.

The old school DOOM-style shooters, with fast paced gunplay.

Shadow Warrior 2013 does that exceptionally. However, instead of feeling floaty and not in control, Lo Wang is quick, agile, and even though everyone's all 'the humor is infantile' it's spaced out enough that the wang jokes don't get too old. He also cusses and goes all 'OWWw!' whenever he gets hurt bad. Not... every time but he does say fuck a lot when hit with some big attack.

dont understand whats stop anyone from playing any retro games most of the consoles have emulators out there and 99% of all old PC games are still playable on modern PCs

The problem with that is legality, I've heard you can do it if you own the game which is why I keep a copy of Front Mission 3 on my PC with the actual disc being down near my PS2. My question is how can ISPs or the police or whoever monitors emulator sites tell which games you own and which you're pirating? Even then, 90% of the companies don't exist anymore so even if you are pirating who are you stealing from? So many questions.
