Games like Yoshi's Story on the N64 were once awesome but playing later in life just wasn't nearly as fun. Anyone have any other games and had a similar experience?
When I was a little kid, me and my brother would play Smash Bros. original straight, we had a blast unlocking everything and some VS. matches. When I play the original now, it's fun, but nothing close to my enjpyment back then.
No...not with games that I can think of off hand. But movies, now there's truth there! I remember Goonies and Gremlins and Labrynth all being so cool as a kid, but seeing them now is just such a chore! And how about The Wizard? I thought that movie was edge of your seat excitement when I was young, but seeing it now....*zzzz*

well if u r talking about a child-exclusive game like yoshi's story, of course it'll look boring to an adult, but talking about SSB, u dont feel the same way because there are new and better smash bros games, and u played them, thats why its not that funny now.
i loved duck hunt when i was 3 and i love it now! ohh and all the ninja turtle games that where in the arcade, not the crappy nes ones. i still play those alot.
the only thing i dont enjoy any more is the pokemon stadium games, i still play pokemon because alot of my friends do and i realy like it but not the consle versions.
Well, there were some games that I played on the NES when I was young that I would find boring now that I have a greater perception between quality and crud. My biggest memory for comparison was with Super Mario Bros. original. I used to think that it was really hard, being unable to get past World 8-3, but I returned to it after several years, and it was easy.
I do not have that problem. I just recently beat Yoshi's Story and I though it was pretty good. When I was little I hated it cuz the level didnt have an end, but now I play it and think "Wow, somebody tried something new with a platfromer". Sorta the same thing with DKC2, I like it more now then I did when I was young.
To the people that said it happens to them with movies. Same here, I just recently watched Pulp Fiction and it was way dumber than I remember it.
At first I though you were going totalk about Ocarina of Time :P.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I still like all the games I enjoyed as a kid (at least, all the ones that came to me just now). Movies, however, are a whole different story. I can't stand some of the movies I used to enjoy. Funny you should mention the "The Wizard" as my friend and I rented it the other day thinking "I remember this! It was awesome!"........yeah, not anymore. It was torture for the 20 min we made it through. It also reminded me of my hatred for that stupid glove.
