DOS is for girls try playing a few ZX spectrum games not sure I would go back as far as ZX80/81 though, even though I did have one
A bit of good olde Dizzy and Magic Knight games
GTA5 is on hold for me though as I do have far to many games to catch up saying that I think my GF may buy it for me anyway so I would prolly play it, but even for the PS3 and 360 I have a bunch of games I have not completed or even started in some cases same for PS2 PSX Xbox Wii Dreamcast Saturn most the 8 to 16 bit consoles and computers have something I have yet to play through, a bunch of Dos and early Windows games, the list would be silly long, yet I do go back to favs rather than new to me games so the list tends to get shorter very very slow.
Every console was Gimmicky in one way or another to compete with each other, this includes the game companies so nothing has changed that much
