I Miss Gaming of the 90s

[Vengorin]

The time when games were unique and game companies in most cases tried to produce a new experiance with there games.

Now what do we get MOBA Clones, CS Clones, WOW Clones, Battle Royal Clones, Huge open world with 5 types of enemies copy paste town Clones, Survial Clones and Clones of Clones.

Yes there are some gems being produced now and then but its depressing and i honestly belive that the gaming industry has become stagnant too afraid to try somthing new.

This is not a Rant more of a need to get it off my chest type post.

Am i the only one who thinks this and if you did not play games in the 90s are you happy with this realy ?

I have to wonder; who had a bigger ratio of gems to shovelware? There's an argument for the '90s being worse than today.

And horrible non exisiting quality of life things. PCs did cost alot for minimal improvement. Horribly optimized. Keymapping was out of control. Balance was stupid. Grind was a thing in certain games, like actual grind for the slightest of content. I could go on.

And how a LOT of shovelware was a gateway into malware spreading.

And some of the worst Cyber Attacks in history. Malware came of age in the '90s, which lead to catastrophic attacks through into the early 2000s.

It's fallen from popular memory, but in the early 2000s a cyber attack later called SQL Slammer infected 95% of vulnerable PCs globally in fifteen minutes. Eventually crippling the fundamental infrastructure of the internet and causing tens of billions of dollars in damages. And it was one of many through the period.

Was that the moment the mains were all infiltrated and and integrated with advanced MITCIA Recruitment pool grad works dealing with state monitoring security apparatuses? To think, we were busy phreaking while 95% were infected, wow!

I don't remember that one. Slammer was an exploit on Microsoft SQL Server that allowed an extremely effective DDOS attack. It's funny; MS had already fixed the exploit six months earlier, but nobody had bothered to install the update. Suckers.

It was a comically simple virus - a couple of lines of code(376 bytes according to Wikipedia) that connected random IP adresses. But once it got loose, there was no stopping it. It rampaged across the early internet for at least a week and did a huge amount of financial damage.

But yeah - go back to an age where 376 bytes of pure fun can up-end the entire internet? No thanks.

why have you been watching this post for an hour ?

I didn't.
I could read everything written until now in 5 minutes at best, I'm not such a slow reader. But you can see when something was written and you were doing so for one hour.
Easy.

ok then why is it a problem that people talk for an hour ? i did not know there would be an issue talking for an hour .... can you link me the rule what says that people cant talk nicely for one hour ?

Honestly why are you offended so much seeing people talking to each other that you felt the need to come in and be abuseive and rude ?

[no one cares]

Perquisitore is a prime exsample of whats wrong with games now.... he likes things the way they are yet he is in an off-topic steam forum not related to any game at all yet he spends his time here and not playing the games ? no one see anything ironic about this.

so many true classics are consigned to the fate of anonymity and so many others sank without a trace.

netstorm was a great game, i loved the universe it was set in, the tech a mix of modern tech, mystical tech, fighting on scenarios with limited strategic and tactical options, bridges that would fall apart as soon as you looked funny at them when not connected to anything and can even be used like a wall to defend against enemy advancement with their bridges.

forsaken was another great game with the unique style of being a survivor on a hoverbike trying to escape a cataclysm, fighting your way through envionmental hazards and your typical enemies with limited resources.

a game called beer, quickly game where this full beer bottle flies through space shooting bottle caps at other beer substances including that crates.

laser light was another one, one that tested your thinking and eye coordination skills with ever increasingly challenging puzzles from one laser projector to many and many evionmental blockers.

starmines 2 oh man! i grew up playing that dos game, play as the pilot of this little ship on some unknown world, plenty of hazards about to shoot down, bonus scores to find, all the while avoiding getting massacred by the various stationary threats and patroling threats along the way.

fuzzy's mini golf, there were really good challenges trying to putt a ball into a hole with many hazards along the way that would deny you chance at the prize.

so so many others.. i would trade all of what i got today to be that kid again play those games.
