I'm almost the same age, I had a PC, a console (first my older bother's NES, then a SNES, a GameBoy, a Saturn, a PlayStation and a GameBoy Advance) and I played with Arcades as well, each one was good for some genres of games, PCs hardly received Japanese games in 90s, including fighting, shot 'em ups, some cool puzzle games, platform (although you cited Commander Keen) and some JRPGs that were absurdly good.
The PC had it genres as well, strategy, the nascent FPS genre and adventures were far better in the PC. I tried to play as many as I could in every platform, turn out that I never played much attention to quality if I had fun playing them (this partly explain why angband is one of my favorites). Maybe I'm an oddity to have played them all.
- eru 16y agoI second that. What's so `low quality' about Angband? Small note: In English you should probably talk about genres of games, not genders.
- zppx 16y agoOh thanks, I fixed the text. I do not think Angband is a low quality game, although after reading the text this is what I understood as well, the sentence was poorly written, sorry. I intended to address the situation that some people perceive it is a "low game" and that even the worst game for Atari 2600 is better just because it does not have graphics (I play it without tiles).
- eru 16y agoI think angband is a low quality game. But that's just a religious stance, since I prefer nethack. :o) (Without tiles, of course.)
