Curious what’s your year of birth?

FO2 is a great game but there’s no way my kids, who have only known 3D, could get into something so old.

I can't imagine anyone not enjoying Super Mario World or Mario 3.

Or Tetris. Some games are timeless.

Liking or disliking a 2D game is not a generational divide.

Fallout never was everyone's cup of tea.

It was a cult classic from the start. Also CRPGs have always been pretty niche, with the occasional exception they rarely break into the mainstream.

I was around to play games from the NES and SNES. I particularly enjoyed Zelda 3 and Super Metroid, both on the SNES. Heck, I even enjoyed The Lord of the Rings Volume 1 by Interplay on the SNES. But I don't really like Fallout 1 or 2.

Whether someone likes some 2D games or not has absolutely nothing to do with their age.
