Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 257432, member: 660650"] Well perhaps the most important thing to say about this topic is some old games were way popular at the time compared to how some old games got popular later as if only they were popular. For example when people imagine early days of PC FPS they think Half-Life 1 was some hot shit but I personally disliked the game but instead liked this game lol: [URL]https://store.steampowered.com/app/328460/Redline/[/URL] And after internet got popular reading reviews it seems like paid reviews created a hype so hard it distorted the reality of people in a way they are biologically programmed to believe "only Half Life 1 was a good FPS at the time on PC" lol. Dude you can even drive cars in Redline and it can shoot too lol. Maps are interesting, fun missions and it doesn't feel like you are buried in six thousand feet underground like Half Life 1 lol. Other than a FPS game mostly point and click games were popular to people who loved them but it made most people not interested in early days of PC games. At most there were CRPGs but these games made people think "PC gaming is for nerds" so they naturally leaned on arcades and video game consoles for action games. This is the way why that era in gaming is not mentioned much and when people talk about it they just mention the most popular ones that has relation to today like The Elder Scrolls series, Diablo, Doom, et cetera. Otherwise we can talk about The Last Express, Deja Vu: MacVenture Series, Life & Death series, Street Rod series, King's Quest series, Space Quest series, Monkey Island series, et cetera but these games could hardly interest people who never experienced the era because since 2000s video game industry got more focused on generic action games or character drama simulators further so today's people may cannot understand why I seriously played surgery simulator game and had fun thanks to Life & Death series lol. Now people are biologically programmed to believe games are supposed to be some NPC talk and you should care, so when they ask you to bring an item you should otherwise it's the end of the world lol. And then you just always have to kill someone/something between A to B walking and follow direction of some NPC to follow some generic revenge story and/or looking for someone and/or some evil endangering life of many people lol. I assure you video games were beyond this back then lol. [/QUOTE]
