You've played no video games at all since '81? Or no battlezone-like games. Because there are PLENTY of far more interesting games since then. Battlezone is interesting and charming, to be sure, but certainly not the height of arcade gaming.
Have you tried VR Battlezone on PS5? I have it but haven't actually played it yet!
- intrasight 5y agoI have not - answer to both questions. Got busy with college, work, family. Im sure what will draw me back in will be VR. But I have no interest in FPS games. I await the next paradigm which VR will enable. In college I wrote a multi-user version of Battlezone. Another student did a "flying through space" version. What I learned doing that launched my software career.
- jiveturkey 5y agowould love to see that game if it can be played today! there is a MMO version of Joust out there which is glorious
- intrasight 5y agoLOL. I have a binder with the code printout somewhere. This was written in 1986 on CMUs "proprietary" hardware/software stack, which evolved into Mach, NeXTSTEP, and ultimately MacOS.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI feel like maybe you've missed a lot of what gaming has had to offer, like you've only ever seen FIFA and Call of Duty ads and nothing else about modern games. A stab in the dark at what you might find interesting: Try "Outer Wilds" by Mobius Digital on a friend's Switch or something.
- intrasight 5y agoThanks. I googled it and watched some vids. That does look compelling.
