Were you an exclusively PC gamer back in the day? tell us some stories, anon
pc gamers where mostly idorts back then
Which game is on the screen?
that's a shop
I can tell because I'm an expert with pixels and such
First game I networked was Grandest Fleet, a ww2 ship battle game. Ran a network cable from one apartment to another. First game I played over a modem was Warcraft 1. Still remember how windy is was that day cause I had to ride my bike to my friends house to get everything setup, then ride back home. Ran like complete shit with 6 second delays on clicks, but it was the greatest thing ever at the time.
me in 2001 but not fat
I have always been a PC gamer.
Reason: poor
Parents never bought me consoles because
1) they were poor
2) games are a waste of time
that has got to be one of the worst photoshop jobs i've seen in quite some time. absolutely embarrassing.
>Were you an exclusively PC gamer back in the day?
frick no. pc gaming was absolutely fricking shit up until the mid 1990s.
here's the original picture:
>that has got to be one of the worst photoshop jobs i've seen in quite some time. absolutely embarrassing.
I think it was supposed to be a parody. Note the "improved" bust. Either that, or someone with legic double digit IQ without kidding.
damn girl
I would have fallen in love with this girl in the 90's
but she's a silly zoomer larper
Nah. I was never so poor I could only afford one toy.
But you've developed standards in the meantime?
bro im falling in love now
imagine the smell in the room
Fake photo taken with a flash camera a few years ago
This is the most unconvincing photo of the 90s I've ever seen
"Look at the perfectly arranged trends of the entire decade of the 1990s, from GnR to Pokemon. But most importantly, look at ME!"
I think it looks pretty good except a girl like her would have piles of dirty laundry on the floor
danger hairs weren't common in that era
i guess she could have been a raver
The 90s were so based
Nice try, you Arctic Monkey-loving Tumblr zoomer.
I'd play some pokémon stadium with her
show her my Lickytong
>i want genetal warts on my tongue
I just want to play pokémon. My Lickytung against her Meowth. Do you mean the controller would be dirty?
Well I'm glad its Leo and not JTT.
lmao that pic. Why would you change a nirvana poster to this silly bastard
>Were you an exclusively PC gamer back in the day?
No, we had enough money for consoles, but my dad in the 90s wisely thought his kids should be familiar with PCs. In doing so he helped turn me into a software engineer and PC nerd. Thanks dad.
>tell us some stories, anon
Got my first PC (in my own bedroom room) was a p100 with maybe 8 megs of ram in Christmas of 1997. Came with Quake installed and a few other games that helped me become a disgusting goth in the years afterwards.
Pic related, my setup in 2004/5. It was the second PC to be connected to the internet in the house, and I was chatting to someone on MSN messenger at the time. Fun times.
>me become a disgusting goth in the years afterwards.
>sims
and now you are dilating. was it worth it?
I've always played games on whatever I could get. Tandy 1000, Tiger handheld Tetris, the computer lab at school, the NES my grandpa gave me or the Genesis he got me a few Christmases later.
Yes. There's nothing interesting. I'm a third worlder (and at the time) without Internet, so I had to live with the default Windows games, CDs with shareware/demos, covermount CDs in kids' magazines with shovelware, and budget releases.
yes
been laughing at console peasants since 1991
>Varg poster
Where? I just see a Death in June poster
I'm of the impression that PC gaming was never really relevant until recently, and only then did older PC games become well known. There has to be a reason why computer games always got ported to consoles but rarely the other way around.
PC gaming became relevant in the late 90s and started to build up from there until it started to really dominate things in the 2010s
Depends on what you mean by PC i guess, but i'm assuming just all computer gaming.
In that case, I think you have a bit of an American perspective. Took till the turn of the millenimum and then some for consoles to be on a par with pc's in Euroland, and i doubt it ever happened in Korea, Taiwan or China due to the console bans.
Even just going off America, i still don't think this is really correct. Console gaming was bigger for sure, but PC gaming hardly rare. Bit hard to prove though, since piracy warps any computer games sales figures beyond recognition. Doom's meant to have sold about a mil in it's first couple of years, but been played by ~20 odd in the same period,
To use your example, why did so many games start out on computers before journeying over? They were getting made for someone in the first place.
By the 00's PC gaming is auto relevant just because of online gaming. Killed allot of the single player stuff off too. I blame Blizzard
the most zoomer post
close second
>tfw weekend LAN parties with 50 people in the local middle school cafeteria because someone knew someone who would lend us the keys
>tfw lugging towers and CRTs
>tfw LAN switches that were slower than the fastest cable internet today
>tfw pizza and kebab for 48 hours
>tfw so much piracy and silly CS 1.6 play
I hate you homosexuals so much. You don't like games. You like jerking off to a time when you had hair and sexual prospects. When I was a kid in the 90s, I never once thought about what platform I was playing a game on. I cared about the game. I was playing Durandal on my brother's Mac, StarCraft and Quake 2 on the PC, Super Mario 64, FF7 (cloud gets raped in the hot tub lol), even fricking Palm Pilot games. You were either starved for choice or mentally ill if you sat around identifying with a fricking motherboard and you're beyond being saved if you're doing it in 2021.
Platform wars were a product of 2010's zoomer culture. In the 80's, 90's and 2000's, nobody's identity was wrapped up in whatever device they played games on, everyone I knew played games on everything. There was no 'PC master race', there were PC players buying Playstations and nobody gave a shit.
>lies
t. Shitposter
Nope. I know, because I was there. You, on the other hand, were a tickle in your dad's nuts. But, I think it's great that you hold onto your fantasies of having missed out on nothing because of your age.
>more lies
shitposting continues
>I-I'm not m-mad
No tears. Only dreams, anon.
>talking in slogans and memephrases
nothing more zoomerish than that
Heavens no. I touched a titty by 20 years old.
