When i was very young child, computer games was something that ease you to learn how to use computers. My first computer was Sinclair ZX Spectrum Plus and every game (program) was loaded on audio tape
. That time and old 386, 486 DOS or early win 95 era was my best in pc games perspective. My hardware was old and i was very happy if i edited autoexec.bat and config.sys so my computer was able to run new games. I remember the first multiplaying in our school, doom, warcraft 1, netwars
I dont like (most of) new games, it is all about graphics, almost straigh walktrough from first mission to the epic end.. Maybe i am old and nostalgic, youngest players can feel the same for current sort of games. But still, i think that editing your system configuration, borrowing 2 MB of RAM from my mother work computer (so i had 6 MB RAM!!!!) was computer pioneering
(I dont get it. At my win 7 asus eee, aplication that shows me on display if caps lock or num lock is on or off has 2,7 MB in ram, WTF?
).
At this summer, my (4 years old games compatible) notebook died and i decide to not buy new hardware for games, so i have ION Intel atom netbook atm. I played few old games during this summer, games i did not ever test, and i am satisfied. Panzer General 2, Mech Wariror Gold. I will wait with buying new hardware for next Half Life or Fallout, but thats all.
P.S.: Any idea of "good old adventure" game?
