The retro games also allowed for a much more dedicated and proficient gamer due to the fact there was no memory card or internal memory hard drive. Retro games are still going strong though. Revised copies of titles such as Madden, Metal Gear Solid, and Streetfighter are going as strong as the day they were released. For the retro gamer, it isnt about achievements but, about solidified gameplay. Gamers from the 80s were easily able to identify the kind of gamer they would later be. Some went the path of the strategist or role player/action rpg with Final Fantasy, or the first person shooter with Duke Nukem and Doom; while others went with sports from Techmo Bowl to Madden. The two biggest genres of gaming which are booming nowadays is the FGC or Fighting Game Community, and the MOBA players or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. MMOs or Massive Multiplayer Online games are consistently maintaining an ever expansive population as well. The fact still remains, if it wasnt for our revolutionary games such as Streetfighter, Sword of Mana, Breath of Fire, Mortal Kombat there would not be League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and the Marvel Vs. series.
