What I Miss

[Pleng]

From various parts of my life, and listed in no particular order...


What I miss:

• Being excited about new games and technology, waiting for the latest copy of whatever magazine I got at the time to drool over pictures of new games and new consoles (32X, Jaguar) that I'd never be able to afford (lucky miss there I guess )
• Knowing people that were 'into' playing the same sort of games as me, and swapping tips on how to 'get past' areas and find new secret areas
• Swapping the game carts with people at school
• Cover CDs from CD32 magazines
• Daytona USA and NiGHTS
• Thinking the Pandora was going to be cool
• Thinking the Amiga had a chance of survival
• Micro Machines 96 and Lightening Seeds, Jollification

What I don't miss:

• Line numbers
• Waiting 3 minutes for a tape game to load, often crashing half way through the process
• 8-bit Porn
• Pay-per-minute dial up connections and 33Kbs modems
• Craig
• Klick 'n' Play
• Not having any money

What I miss:
- coders, reinventing an existing genre(like they did in Worms, Battle Isle, Lemmings, etc...).
What I don't miss:
- Programs vanishing from my disk, after a while(that's what happened to my Lionheart discs).
What I'll never tolerate:
- DRM-silliness, to patronize me.

Hey, btw: 8-bit porn was great. I spent several hours with c64's sex games.
