Franzia, do gaming w Simpler days

Now I work a bit to hype myself up about games. The game’s wiki usually has a good synopsis and some wallpapers. There are promo videos, and often a promotional website. And the flow of memes and *ahem * fan art coming from new game releases is often also helpful.

That’s the worst goatee I’ve ever seen.

I remember when you had to spin the wheel to get the current code to unlock the game. No, I don’t miss that.

What I miss is having less responsibilities, while at the same time I don’t want to have less (and I always wanted to get older as a kid to be more in control, so I doubt I would like it now).

I miss when PC games had flaps on the box, and they’d be full of screenshots and art from the game.

And big fucking tomes for manuals.

Land_Strider,

Not a physical manual tome, but this Prima Guide for TESIV: Oblivion is something that is enough for me to convert to pdf.

I bought that (and still have it) when I got Oblivion, expecting to need it like I did for Morrowind. Definitely did not need it.

Land_Strider,

I had it while playing the game all those years ago. I didn’t have much access to internet back then, and although I don’t remember the specifics, I remember looking up some deadra/Mehrunes Dagon oblivion planes for some stuff. And a few of the annoying quests, like Glarthir’s Paranoia quest in Skingrad.

Nevertheless, it was a fine thing to skim through even without needing/wanting to find something specific. The page background, layouts, font and colors all being in sync with tbe game still adds a ton to the immersion of that game.

I don’t know how but I somehow managed to forget about that. You’re so right.

This makes me feel old because I think of the days when there was a chunky manual inside with controls, maps, and lore.

telllos,

Those flight sim manuals:D

BruceTwarzen,

I would always try to remember all the controls so i could jump right in as home

MrGerrit,

I think I flipped through the manual of the Legend of Zelda on nes multiple times. The artwork in that thing is so great and all the lore and information that was in there was awesome.

I really miss those things.

And they had little books with info and pictures.

@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

God I miss those days. I stopped buying physical games mainly because the only thing it was doing was taking up physical space. If they had included those books and art then I probably would have stuck around with physical stuff.

I honestly prefer getting physical versions for my switch, reminds me of the good 'ol days when i had an entire bag of DS games

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Oh I totally get it! I don’t mean to say physical games aren’t worth it, it’s just why I don’t get 'em anymore. Being able to run your finger down a line of game cases is nice… seeing all those titles lined up. Or with the DS games. Having the little chips slotted into the cases in the little zippy uppy thingies.

Mr_Blott,

Pffft they came on cassette, there was no room for books! Mastertronic and their 99p games were amazing, the picture on the front was always the biggest lie ever

fartsparkles,

That and a picnpix from Woolies was life!

perviouslyiner,

Yeah that’s the only one I can’t identify. And the bulldozer may be Blast Corps. but I’m not sure.

telllos,

Yes, probably blast corp. What an amazing game this was!!

Rakonat,

Thought it might be vigilant 8 but could be wrong. Been a looong time.

Jessica,

I just skimmed through the entire list of N64 games and I couldn’t figure it out. It looks like time crisis, but none of those were on the N64, and the only on the rails shooter I am aware of is sin and punishment, which doesn’t look like that. The only thing I could think of that’s even in the ballpark is Duke Nukem.

Side note, anybody know how to set my text on top of comment images? ^

player2,

Put two spaces after the text to force a line break. I usually put two spaces on the empty line below as well in order to create more of a space.

Swordinferno, do gaming w Don't be that player

It depends on who’s got the stocks, in my opinion. I personally don’t like when the 4-player 5-stock casual game turns into the sweatiest 2-stock 1v1 that lasts 10 minutes.
