Gaming

Ahh, the nostalgia of hearing about those old titles again. Takes me back to the days of being a kid reading PC Gamer monthly with ravenous wonder and excitement. That period of '94 to '06-09 or so really was the golden age of PC gaming. I've been thinking about starting up a sub specifically about that era actually, retro gaming subs often tend to focus more about old consoles and arcade games.

Similarly, Desperados 2 (2006) made the first game feel a century old. From the same camera distance as the first game, it both looked far better than the original and had the advantage of dynamic lighting, more fluidity and a freely rotatable camera. Up close it was a bit blocky, but this was to be expected back then.

Interesting! I'll take a look at the graphics, but I was otherwise set to skip it as it didn't look like it was particularly well received.

I can confirm that these looked magnificent on a high quality CRT.

I've been on a bit of a retro game kick lately and have been wishing I had a really good one. It's a shame they're so damn bulky.
