As a kid I always loved sneaking into my brother’s room to play his PS2 collection. The year he went off to college, he left his PS2 at home, and I was probably in there every day. I played the shit out of Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy X, Okami, Kingdom Hearts… throughout the years, I would get back into these games… replaying Okami in college was a blessing - although it ran slow as hell on my old GeForce 440. Over the years, as I upgraded to RTX… playing old games seemed less interesting because I was always trying to see what cutting edge graphics and game design looks like. Old games just feel clunky on the PC.

But then I got a Steam Deck… LCD… and I decided to try Final Fantasy X again… and for some reason… I felt like a kid again. Maybe its the fact that that game was built for LCD monitors (I feel like Kingdom Hearts looks especially good on the LCD version as well - the colors are so vibrant), maybe its the fact that these games originally had a low resolution but the small screen more than compresses the pixels to look as good as they used to… but I find myself thriving on my childhood game collection in a way that was difficult to do so on my gaming PC, or even on consoles.

Anyone else feel like this? What old games look/feel great on the Deck for you guys?
