"Do you remember when.."

[Realitycrash]

A topic for all you gramps and grannies out there! Every sentence must begin with "Do you remember when.." (unless commenting someone else), and refering to gaming. Share you memories!

Do you remember when Monkey Island came on floppy-disks?
Do you remember when we still had healthmeters?

I tell you..Those were the days.

 

[Pedro The Hutt]

Team Fortress 2 has health meters. o: Both in numbers AND filling/depleting crosses.

 

[Nikolaz72]

Do you remember the days we had non-stop Mac VS PC discussions? And people used Southpark avatars? Those days were. . . Utter shit. Just like now.

Do you remember when console games couldn't be patched so they were released (on the whole) when finished.

Do you remember when multiplayer meant sitting on the sofa with a couple of mates.

 

[holy_secret]

Do you remember when there were only 150+1 Pokémon?

 

[JLML]

Do you remember when Nintendo 64 and Playstation where the only options for gaming, and no one could even dream of something like the console wars going on today? That was the good old times if you ask me. ^^

 

[DJDarque]

Do you remember when X-Com wasn't a generic shooter?

 

[Hellz_Barz]

Do you remember the days we had non-stop Mac VS PC discussions?

Not sure if you forgot to write /sarcasm at the end, cause there was a massive one of those the other day. Same result as always, both sides just baggin each other.

 

[Bobbity]

Do you remember when the community on the internet was still reasonably civil? That's all gone to hell now...

What about the Saturn, ok the stupidly high production costs didn't do Sega any favours but it stood its ground in the early days.

While the war was waged at school not over the interwebs there was indeed a console war raging.

 

[Wintermoot]

do you remember when we had the console wars and TV was still good?

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Do you remember when games came on cassettes and when having 48KB of RAM made your machine a gaming leviathan?

 

[Kiltguy]

I do indeed remember those days.

Do you remember a time before the Internet, and before mobile-phones?

Do you remember "Game & Watch"?

The Saturn never fauner any ground where I live, to the point that it basically wasn't sold at all. Also, there was no wars at my school over what was better, though that might be because the N64 held a LARGE majority of the popularity. At least until PS2 came and got something of a fighting chance.

Those were the days

Do you remember when online gaming wasn't avalible for consoles. So single player was, y'know, good. And multiplayer was special, because it required friends.

Do you also remember the times when their was less bullsh*t and scandals in games, with things such as day one DLC, DLC in general, buggy games and half made games almost being non existant baring a few games which were bought by about 3 people.

 

[pyramid head grape]

Do you remember the days of the first computer some truly horrible times.

 

[Popido]

Do you remember when people wondered if the internet could be used in marketing?

Do you remember when facts weren't opinions and the internet was ruled by superior race of PC users?

Do you remember when, that one time, /b/ leaked? I wonder if they ever got it fixed.

 

[Raistlinhawke]

Do you remember when competing console companies embraced the flame wars through TV advertising?

Do you remember when the only time you could get cheat codes were from magazines?

Do you remember cheat codes?

Do you remember when the biggest gaming controversies didn't result in tasteless news reports, but burning arcade cabinets?

 

[Myskomunken]

Do you remember when Call of Duty were about World War 2?

 

[Fenra]

Do you remember when Goldeneye + 3 friends + proximity mines + basement was the best way to spend a saturday afternoon
