I love playing extremely long games like that, feels so rewarding when you finally beat them.
Fuck yeah: Half life Zelda OOT Golden Eye Perfect Dark Final Fantasy 7 Quake 90's were awesome

YES. YES. Half-Life, Forsaken, Thief, Quake, Unreal, Star-Wars Dark Force (I and II). I know it's not from the 90's but what the hell. Max Payne.

[QUOTE=endofworld96;18139293]I don't know why but lately new fps games and other new games are just boring and I have begun playing older games from the 90's even alot of DOS and Apple ][ games. Anyone else feeling the same way that games used to be much better than they are now.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure what you are going on about. There were [I]PLENTY[/I] of shitty games in the olden days. The good ones get clumped into the "old games" pile, and the bad ones are forgotten. Apple ][? Really not a whole lot of good games for that one. Oregon Trail and Math Munchers, and that wasn't even an exclusive. Commodore 64? Certainly, the most well-designed hardware made until Commodore made the even better Amiga (which still stands at the top of elegant hardware IMO), but nobody can remember any games played on it. It carried the best selection of games of its time too. In fact, the 90's saw a horrible scourge of shitty games. Remember the CDi? Yeah, neither does anyone else. Did the 3DO even [I]have[/I] the advertised 3D functionality? Did you forget that we used to think those live-action video games were the future of gaming? How about the endless generic SHMUPS and brawlers? Don't you remember how you were made fun of if you owned a Genesis? Or am I the oldest person in this thread, alone in having rational thought in 1994.

I saw the tail end of the bad video game era for the most part. The one game that stands out for be just because it was the first game ever to employ this; Winback. If you can remember, it was the first ever game to employ such a useful cover system, I still think it is pretty ingenious how they had the ability to move out of cover in two different ways. Damnit, now I need to go dust of my 64 and play it again!
I always feel like I'm the only one not feeling the vibe of these nostalgia threads. Sure, time passes and things change, but the proportion of shitty:good has always remained at a distressingly high level. In fact, in the 80's, it was verifyably even higher than it has ever been since. The sale of Atari had the effect of pretty much popping the bubble.
