RE: Computer Gaming in the 80's - Things has changed a bit
So cool. I´m a bit younger, but I remember Donkey Kong and Super mario. I had a Commodore 64 in the mid 80s as a 6 year old. Later I played a lot of old school games on PC like wolfenstein, larry, police quest etc..then later Loom, Lemmings, monkey island, Amazon, commander keen...Such amazing times.
Great memories you mentioned there :) You missed the best that was around the time of Lemmings ... Syd Meyer's Civilization
Ah..yeah, that´s worth a mention. Probably one of the best games ever made, although not a favorite of mine. I´ve tried several times. I loved playing age of empires and sim city back in the days. Im currently still playing baldurs gate..more of a late 90s rpg. But I just cant seem to find similar gaming experiences in modern games. Sure there are some great modern games, but you need a friggin nuclear reactor to run them and theres more emphasis on graphics than story and general "feel".
100% agree about not finding similar experiences. I have a X-Box One nowm but we use it more for Netflix than gaming. The closest I got to the golden old days was Halo on the 360. My wife and I played at some stage from 05:00 in the morning till like 01:00 the following morning :)
Cool :D I gave up gaming some years ago. I was hooked on call of duty and fallout 3 for a while ( another great game is Fallout 1 and 2 btw). Now I just run baldurs gate on my macbook and have a beer and play Gran turismo 6 with my brother now and then. My plan is to take up the gaming when i retire :)
My gaming days ended when the kids came :) Now I still play Clash of Clans and recently started playing Golf Clash, as it is short and sweet :)
Haha. Same here :)
