I’m not a parent,
I’m a “legacy player.”
You bring me to
a whole new platform.
But I barely understand
Space Invaders.
You can upgrade my graphics,
but then I won’t be
the quirky glitchy character
you’ve grown to love.
Can’t you see
that I’m meant to be
low res forever?
Put me back in my box.

Ah, the legacy player,
amidst a world of evolving games.
I may not be a parent,
but I bring a unique perspective.
You introduce me to new platforms,
expanding my horizons.
Yet, I struggle to grasp
the complexities of Space Invaders.
You offer to upgrade my graphics,
to enhance my experience.
But I fear losing my charm,
my quirky, glitchy character.
Can’t you see that I am meant
to remain low-resolution forever?
Embrace my limitations,
for they define my essence.
Return me to my box,
where nostalgia and simplicity reside.
