Game was crap btw. The Original Mortal Kombat when arrived on PC, needed 4MB of machine RAM. We had 2MB that time. My bro bought 2MB more and told me to play games then. I quickly bought MK (arcade) and a few. Ran excellent. All you need to do was to upgrade Ram chips mostly. A game on 4/5 1.44HD disks lol. Verbatim branded double density 5.4m diskettes. Bad Command or filename. Dreaded General failure reading disk drive. What an amazing Era. 🙂 *edit: JP Trespassers had a beautiful box art and with that lovely JP logo. 😁 I used to look at those cases since my PC was unable to get it run well.

    Absolutely! Something about the lower quality sound, the effects and the graphics really did give an 'atmosphere'. Modern realistic games, just don't seem to have that for some reason. Watching Rise of The Triad here in this list, it wasn't the greatest game of all time, but the atmosphere was definitely huge and creepy. Command and Conquer - one of my all time favourite games of all time. I'd never seen anything like it - even the INSTALLATION of the game was amazing. Full voice and animation from a CD. You simply can't imagine never seeing anything like that before. I went from ZX Spectrum cassette games, to Atari ST and then to PC with CD-ROM. It was the biggest leap in audio, graphics and game size ever. Ahh man, people take it all for granted these days. But moving one day from MIDI sound to CD quality audio and sound effects and actual video. I really did blow my tiny mind.

    I Totally agree..I am 48 years old, and I grew up with the best in videogames..The days of gaming on 486 and pentium-based machines were magical..Those games were so advanced when compared to what else was out there at that time..My friends were always the Nintendo and Sega guys, and while I loved all of those consoles, the big box PC games at that time held such a special place in my heart..They always joked with me as being the nerd for that, but I didn't care at all. I was so into those games..The stories with those games surpassed anything else...The only problem was trying to get many of those games to run on the PCs I had then..I am strictly a console gamer nowadays, only because I can't afford a good gaming PC these days...So much has changed, and i miss it so much..All the Sierra on-line games and lucasfilm games, as well as the original fallout games and Crusader: No Remorse were so amazing...I would give anything to be able to go back and have all those games again, but there is no easy way to get those games anymore..Such a special time in Gaming..The younger generation nowadays are just used to all the amazing graphics out there now, and just take the technology for granted, and that's why we no longer have those feelings we had then..As great as games look nowadays, I can do without the majority of them, just because it's mainly nothing but mindless shooters that have taken over..Go back to games like Blade Runner, Darkseed 1 & 2, Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, Interstate '76, and so many more..Those were the magical times..

Man, you can enjoy the narrative depth of Disco Elysium, the emotional depth of the likes of Firewatch or Life is strange, old-school titles but made better like Cuphead, The Binding of Isaac, Hollow Knight or whatever suits you. The intricate puzzle boxes that the recent Hitman games constitue. The weird cinematic experience of Hellblade, etc. Games that are a complexe artistic experience like The independent scene makes the age we live in right now the true golden of video gaming, period. Heck, even many AAA releases are good these last years... Doom, Resident Evil 2 remake... Fuck that "those were the days" mentality.

    What a fascinating trip down memory lane. In the 90s, I was ages 9 to 19, and these were my most formative gaming years. I played lots on console, but I also played so many of these games on PC, and I TREASURE those experiences! Yes, there was some crossover, but what I loved about PC gaming then was just how diverse and separate it was from console gaming. It really WAS like a different gaming world. Today, the two very much coexist but also coincide with each other, with most of the same games being available on console and PC. But back then, it was a much more varied and oftentimes fresh and/or deeper experience overall. Thanks for putting this together.

Heck, even game design today is somewhat samey, though it's called "Quality of Life Features". Back then... even games in same genre could play like completely different genre.
