Taking forever to load this page to start blogging.
Been nagged at by another friend to update my blog. The next person who does that is so going to be... I put it down after I decide what to do with him/her :p
Retro games, that's the in thing in my life nowadays. Stumbled across this website with all these old games for download. So I went on a rampage to relive those old days when the graphics were clunky and the sound was tacky. Wolf3D, Colonisation, Civilisation, Simcity and even UFO Enemy Unknown. *blissful look* Then I was reminded how addictive they were and hence, my current station in life. *haiz*
On that topic, my friend observed that it is interesting that although the graphics and sound was crap, I still went back to play them. He probably would play them too. He concluded by saying that although graphics and sound are important, the critical thing is the gameplay and game concept. That is where they scored well.
Unfortunately, a lot of these games run on DOS mode. That was before the era of Windows in case you are wondering what DOS is :p So some of them have problems in WinXP. I'm still trying to figure them out, but then again I better not lest I get carried away by them again. :)
