Remember MS-DOS? Remember all those kickass flight/space combat games for the PC? X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Red Baron, Aces Over Europe, A-10 Tank Killer, F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0, etc. Truly, it was a golden age for the genre.
Remember when game publishers didn't try to nickel-and-dime you to death with DLC, micro-transactions and season passes? Remember when cool shit like cheat codes and alternate skins came free on the cartridge/disk? Remember when the industry was about the passion first, money second instead of the other way around?
...Remember Rocko's Modern Life? After all these years it's still hilarious as ever.

Remember when Barbas wasn't a lunar surf nazi that spent his day laughing evilly about trying to smuggle changes in mod policy without discussion in the mod chat group. What happened man you used to be cool and then you sold out to the evil forces of corporate oppression. Just look at yourself, you have Piers Morgan as a henchman.
Remember when you had to draw your own MAPS? I can't remember the last time I had to draw my own map for a game!Chaosian said:
Remember when floppy discs were actually floppy? You know, those strange things that came in the box to install your game from? generally more than 4 if it was a huuuuuuge game that was more than 200 MB?????
New game every month? I usually had to wait for my birthday/christmas to roll around before any new games came my way. You really got to learn every nook and cranny of games back then. Half the fun was dicking around with glitches once you'd done everything you were supposed to be able to do. Games these days are almost too well designed.Elfgore said:

Yeah, I remember dial-up. That terrible terrible speed... Great Odin's Raven, the speed... D: Even when Broadband was a fancy new thing back in the day and was still starting up, dial-up STILL sucked. And AOL... FFS.09philj said:
The only thing I miss from the internet in those days, although now I really really miss it, was the... Kind of freedom and innocence that the Internet had as anything has when it first begins to catch on. And the forums. _>
*sigh*
BTW, anyone remember this?
Remember when you unlocked all the characters in a fighting game by playing it?
and I'll go there:
Remember when searching for porn on the internet using 56.6 modem you were upset when the picture loaded enough to show you she still had underwear on in this one?

This an often forgotten casuality of the change to digital television. But then again I don't watch television anymore (yet regularly watch 3-4times as many television shows as I did then) so I'm not complaining.Odbarc said:

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I don't think I've ever had a TV that didn't take at least a few seconds to turn on.Odbarc said:
OT: Do you remember when after two years of being out a console would have at least a few hundred games made for it?
Do you remember when the different cartoon stations had at least 15 different shows play on any given day instead of marathoning the same five all day every day?
Do you remember when a few boxes, a pair of scissors, and some tape were all you needed to make a really awesome fort?
I got one: remember when Nickelodeon had decent cartoons? Now all we have are stupid cartoons, dumb tween sitcoms and formerly good shows run into the ground while the rest of the good stuff is relegated to late at night just for the nostalgia crowd.

My Dad always gave me warm milk to help me sleep if I was having issues getting to bed. I don't think it does anything really but the idea of it making me sleep easier still helps. Thanks brain.
