Retro Genres are popular again

July 17, 2009 in Blog comments 5

The article focuses on two genres that have recently started getting much love from the gaming community: 2D fighters and adventure games. Check the full story on how they are keeping these genres alive.

What a year gaming has been for us. We have seen some fantastic new ideas these past couple of years but there is no denying the fact that retro ideas play a huge effect in new concepts. One of the strange things that is happening is the comeback of 2-D fighting games and true adventure games. These genres just recently started showing back up with re-releases and entirely new games to further help keep retro games alive.

    2D fighters have always been around thanks at the least to handhelds.

    Muts admit that point-and-click hasn't really been at the front for quite a while, or at least not to me.

      Point and click games bore me. But 2D fighting will always be around, along with a load of other "retro" genres.

    Yeah, there are some retro games I really like.

    Retro isn't my favourite genre though, but I like some games from it.
