nostalgia
i’ve been downloading some fairly old computer games recently, games like jagged alliance, x-com 1&2, lemmings 2 and battle isle to name a few. found out that they can be played on windows xp if you have a dos emulator so i decided to get copies and i’ve been hooked for almost a week…man i miss running those games on my old computer (486 dx2 with 4mb ram) which was considered top of the line then save for the fact i had a monochrome monitor(didn’t really matter though coz as everyone knows, i’m color blind ;p).
i didn’t realize how better these old games were till i had the chance to play them again(x-com rocks!!!).
i remember seeing battle isle 2 for the first time when i slept over at a friend’s house…didn’t get to play it and i forgot to ask what game it was. finally got to play it last night and boy was i impressed.
good thing about these old games is they can easily be downloaded as most of them are less than 10megs.
….man, i wish someone could make a game that can actually match up to the quality of game-play most of the old games offered. most games nowadays are either clones or cheap impersonations of these classics….can’t they think of anything new anymore?
till then i guess i’ll be playing more of these oldies ;p
