When you played those games for the first time you were a kid. Sorry man, nothing will ever get you back to that. You basically just admitted you are suffering from the "rose tinted glasses" effect.
No, sorry to dissapoint you but I was not a kid then.
Wearing rose tinted glasses means you see things better then they are. Im not really sure whats your logic becuase im saying that BG was looking scary and dark - wouldnt wearing rose tinted glasses imply that i would think it was all happy and stuff? Nwm, you obviously are missing my point completely.
