Myst was the CD-ROM killer game for me.
And yes, I think we both lived through the most rapid period of technological change (so far). Moore's law was real, the improvements each year were both felt and needed, and the software was coming along for the ride.
Quake was huge when it was launched - there'd never been anything like it. Of course, on my crappy Cyrix 6x86 and some similarly lame graphics card, I recall having to play it at something like 15fps. That wasn't great.
- fizzbuzzbarbazz 2mo ago..so.. ..you know about RealMyst, right? A 3d first-person adaptation of the original Myst?
- seritools 2mo agoWhat's the point you're trying to make?
- lobsterthief 2mo agoI think they were just excited to share that a newer game exists, given OC was posting how they liked it.
- TylerE 2mo agoFor very small values of newer. There have been two remakes of Myst since then.
- returnorthrow 2mo agoI too was in the Cyrix camp when Quake came out. My first video card was a Permedia 2. It ran GLQuake when that came down the pipe but not very well. The Christmas when I got my 3dfx Voodoo1 card was magical.
