"Do you remember when.."

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Not QUITE the same question but...

Do you remember the piranha plant you roasted in 5-1?
And were you there when his family received the news about their son?

I will give a cookie to the one who gets this reference.

 

[Doclector]

do you remember

...I remember don't worry worry, how could I ever forget, the pain doesn't show, but the hurt still grows, no stranger to you and me BA-DUM-BA-DUM-BA-DUM...

Ahem. Do you remember when no one knew the cake was a lie, or the true significance of the words 'would you kindly'?

Ah, good days. Good, 'Internet induced spoiler' free days...

 

[Ranorak]

Do you remember when this was awesome

In those days you could still videotape your brother in his pyjama's.

...WHAT!?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Do you remember that one time on the Escapist someone decided to make a thread about how everyone remembers stuff from shit that happened "a long time ago", but all it did was make me feel really old because everyone wants to talk about the PS1/N64 wars or how Pokemon used to only have 150 Pokemon or the annoying sound of dial-up internet or how all cell-phones used to be huge or how they had to swap discs in games?

Why aren't you people old enough to remember time before cellular phones?! Or the internet?! Or disc-based gaming?! Or the console wars more than 2 generations ago?! Or, God-fucking-forbid, POKEMON?!

Why do I feel so OLD?!

Do you remember when there was no in game Iron Sights? And when you couldn't climb over waist high obstacles or jump?

If not, I sincerely envy you. Even though I just played Doom I and actually had fun, despite aforementioned limitations.

Remember shareware? Remember spawn copies?
Look how greedy game companies are now.

And playing the new demos that you got on CD when buying a PC-magazine, because they did not exist for download.

I remember once my father got a Ground Control Demo with PC-Magazine and I was like. WOAH, and he was like. woaaa- and then it was like. . ooh.. Amazing graphics! OMG you can like, have 3d!? and your infantry can like.. Enter buildings, AND Vehicles!?

Do you remember owning a land line?

You don't?

Just as cheap to have a mobile + you can take it anywhere.

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.

I remember when games came on cassette!

(I?ll go get me coat!)

attack of the show is more along the lines of general tech and internet culture.

I'm talking about the glory days of Filter, Arena, Cheat, Cinamatech and to a lesser extent Judgment Day.
