Lets take a time machine back to the PC gaming of the Mid 1990's and voice our opinon on a lot of the games that were 3D back then. Now I want you to remember your old PC and how it used to play those games.. not today but back in the 1990's and the 00's Hi ,I happen to be an ancient PC gamer of the 1990's. 's I grew up only on PC games.and had not one single tv console at my home. l I still love (to this day) games that worked fine with Windows back in the early 1990's like the Doom and the Duke Nukem 3D series. But when the early 3D polygon PC games first hit the market it for PC it was a nightmare in my opinion. most PCs companies manufactured and sold under $5000.00 at the time were utter junk with their Choppiness. If you were not rich enough to afford to upgrade your PC to the specs that all those early Polygon games required often most game would not work no matter how you tried Most PC games of the 1990's stunk at least the ones I owned. however my life changed forever when I played Half Life 1 in 1999. and StarCraft in 2004. for some reason among all the crappy games of the 1990's those were a lot different. I did love roller coaster tycoon and Simcity 3000. but all the rest were utter junk and were not even the least compatible with windows 95 and windows 98 or even XP for instance in my luck. my first computer that I had since it was new was a Packard Bell Pentinum 1. a computer that cost well over $1000 back in 1997 when I got it for Christmas. the game I used to play were decent Serria games like Bass Fishing, Nascar Racing, Indy Car Racing. But what upset me the most was yet no matter what PC you bought back in the day the computers would always need upgrades for the simplest things. Nowadays you can get a gameing computer for well under $1000,00 that will play almost every single game out there, but in the 1990's you need to upgrade yearly in order to play any kind of game back then it seems. So, what is your thoughts on playing a 1990's game on a computer made in the 1990's or early 00's? :) or even if you were a console gamer back in the day and never had lag issues please tell your story here. :) |

I remember trying to run games like Myth The Fallen Lords and Starcraft, both modern games at the time, and both ran like shit for the most part. I remember trying to play The Sims and Everquest a couple years later and while both would install and technically run, they were pretty much unplayable due to terrible onboard graphics and insufficient RAM. Sadly, most of my PC gaming at the time was either me playing games from the early 90s on my PC (Doom, Doom II, Wolfenstein, and Warcraft II) or playing newer PC games on a friend's rig who had a much better PC than me. We used to play Everquest, Starcraft, AvP, and Half life a lot at his house. Those were good times. |

Nevertheless, I cant comment on this if only because I never had a PC until like age 14 in 2004. Anything involving computers for me growing up was at school either using Mavis Beacon, Mario Typing or this sound effect: https://youtu.be/5Ogsu51Gz60?t=8s |
