To remember the old and for the new to learn !!! - By Navar

Oki this is my first post and ill start by talking a bit about the oldies :)

Who can forget the feeling that everybody had the first time he played a game in an old pc?? Yes I am talking about those ones with the yellow – green screens and the tapes – later replaced by 5.25 disks. (Remember some??? Atari – commodore – Amiga)

We was playing games with dots and boxes and we was like’’ WOW this is awesome’’

I remember the excitement of holding the first game box in my hands and the anticipation of see the manual and everything inside. The savings we had to do to buy one (insane expensive at that time).

How was for everyone the first feeling of satisfaction that had when he had just finished his first adventure game?? Some of us even had to co op to solve them. Here’s few of the first I had (Maniac mansion – Loom – leisure lary 1 – kings quest 1 and of course some TEXT ADVS).
By the way anyone have ever played Ancient art of War???? :D

I remember we were gathering to a kids place that he had a computer, so we watch the games and hoping he’ll let us play :D . (After a while I had my pc so I was among the privileged ones lol).

Continuing about the oldies, the game categories was different back then after gaming industry got to work, we had the Arcades, Beat em up , Shoot em up, Adventures, Simulations, Puzzles (soz if I forgot any).

And later we had the first RTS coming up (Dune - warcraft), the first doom clones (Wolfenstein) which they wasn’t named fps back then - there was a full generation of games named after the game doom. Also the first Rpgs (don’t remember much of the old ones but i just thinked of Eye of the Beholder and Ravenloft all the sudden - scary ones for the time).

Anyway i can write for ever to cover the whole era so ill stop it here and i hope that others will share their own experience about the oldies and the gaming. So feel free to remind us more of the Old Good Times.
