PC gaming in the 90s.. that's like a 'Nam flashback.
Not the game, although that was also released in the 90s.

Ah yes, the days of my Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I wasn't really interested in any consoles until I happened to demo Super Metroid in a Toys 'R Us. That was my downfall. I picked up a few more carts from Funcoland because they were used and cheap, and I could sell them back for credit. Also, I worked at Blockbuster Video and employees could rent movies and games free. I think that's the only reason I wanted to work there =P Even though it was an employee perk, the manager didn't like employees renting too much and would find ways to "fire" them.

Very true. Some achieved truly cult status, shaped the gaming community in ways no current website could dream of. What magazine(s) you read defined you as a gamer as much,if not more so, as the games you played and the platform you played them on. It broke my heart to witness the downfall of gaming press, it's quality, quantity and influence.

Perhaps someone mentioned it already, but one thing that we did all the time : LAN parties! Nothing beat an entire school weekend's worth of HL deathmatch on the Crossfire map :D

HunchBluntley: Hey, some of the most interesting games were coded by amateurs in their spare time!
But, yeah, there was generally a lot of chaff to sort through. I used to have a notepad file listing the worthwhile or interesting (to me) titles I had found on a couple such "hundreds of games!!1" shareware CD-ROMs, complete with the paths to the executables (so i could access the games directly, where possible).
didn't say that it was a bad thing, it's just as I said that it was more of a hobbyist thing.But, yeah, there was generally a lot of chaff to sort through.
