retroactivity
ret•ro•ac•tiv•i•ty
Pronunciation: (re'trō-ak-tiv'i-tē)
—n.,
1. Gaming an effect, similar to radiation, which leads to the rediscovery of an old love (console or vintage computer). can spread from one nerd to another.
Recently my brother made a lucky deal at ebay and got a sega megadrive for just an handfull of euros. just a week later the retroaktivity spread over to my room, which lead to my remembering of ye olde times when i owned a snes and played f-zero all the day. for some odd reason i cannot remember i had sold it short after receiving my first own computer. so i quickly (it happened over the weekend) checked the prizes at ebay and got myself a snes. this retroaktivity is a really nasty thing, because now, i am always looking for cheap snes games. i already have f-zero, street fighter 2, terranigma, super soccer, super star wars and mario kart.

Revolution, anyone? My next consoles will be the ps3 (rather a workstation, I think) and the Nintendo Revolution, if they really go for this Play-All-Games-Ever-Released Feature. Chrono Trigger with anti-aliasing? weeee
i will get the ps3 when sony releases the harddisk with pre-installed linux as a workstation and revolution for my gaming needs. :)
