I do not think that I am an old, boring person

"What? You still play Doom and Wolfenstein 3D? What is wrong with you? Get with the times!"

There were times when I had to put up with that type of behavior.

Some people think that if someone still plays PC games from the 90's, he or she should be sitting on a rocking chair.

But I am aware of the changes that have occurred in the world of gaming. I am aware of SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault, and Halo 3. I know that there is a Taco Bell event where one could win a Playstation 4 before it is released.

Meanwhile, Doom and Quake are always changing and evolving, because new mods are being released frequently. So I pay attention to the media and I download new mods. So, I have managed to keep up with the times.

Like my dad said when i used to not like Wolfenstein 3D when i think about the graphics "If it wasent for Wolfenstein 3D there wouldent be no Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life or Quake"

Weird. I was just thinking about that type of argument the other day. Wouldn't some other FPS style of game, or something similar, have come along, if Catacomb 3D or Wolfenstein 3D had never been developed? Then again, perhaps everything that happened, is what HAD to happen.

how can you re-live a time from when you werent even born?

have to have been alive at that time to be able to 're-live' it, kiddo

.

i personally find it hilarious how you talk about 're-living' and about nostalgia
when you werent even born when this game was made

I played Mostly DOS/Win9x Games either on DOSBOX or on a Old Laptop of mine

Like my dad said when i used to not like Wolfenstein 3D when i think about the graphics "If it wasent for Wolfenstein 3D there wouldent be no Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life or Quake" Later i started liking Wolf3D because i realized what my dad said but well my dad mostly plays Modern Games "But not much of a 90s gamer because he thinks about the graphics instead of gameplay" I think that was kinda modern way of saying about the graphics/gameplay.

I play some of Modern Games i took a look at Xbox One's Titanfall also 50/50 like Necrodome but you drive a Mech instead of a Tank
When me, My Brother and my Dad Watched the gameplay video "My Dad Said about the multiplayer will be crazy" Well, when it comes into fast paced 3D Games you were able to Rocket Jump, Strife Jump and Mostly Shoot Rockets in the Player's Feet Often.

I dont care if im old or something im still reliving the 90s games and
Remember "Games aint too old they are too fun" like some of the others said

Okay, but put some pants on first, for Shub's sake!

I remade pac-man a long time ago and I still play my version frequently. So, it's kinda like I still play pac-man (kinda). I think I posted it here before but just for shitz & giggles here is my version

The file inside the zip is an exe but it doesn't install anything. Way back in the flashMX (6) days you could save flash projects as a standalone player. That's all it is, my flash project with an exe wrapper. The game is stupid but actually pretty addictive.

To my knowledge no one (including myself) has ever beat it. All you have to do is eat all ?510? dots. Actually if someone can beat this and tell me if the win screen works it would be great (take a screenshot). I already know about the "E" getting cut off in the lose screen, it is what it is.

"What? You still play Doom and Wolfenstein 3D? What is wrong with you? Get with the times!"

I haven't heard anything similar in a long time. The recent experiences I made when talking about older games were rather positive, to be honest.
On one occasion a university professor started talking to me about how he enjoyed the old Conter-Strike, after he saw me playing Q1 to pass time on a night shift

[Mindf!3ldzX]

I just started to bother with modern multiplayer gaming. As fun as 64 player Conquest games in BF3/4 are, I won't hesitate to fire up Quake when I see games going on (and im not going to bed. Ugh,all the games are at night lately,late)

I had fun playing on Q4MAX servers!

[Trickle]

I'm currently finishing Spear of Destiny on “I am Death Incarnate!"

Fact is these games aren't TOO OLD. They are TOO FUN! I'd rather try to sneak around halls and rooms that are the same height everywhere, along with repetitive textures with Nazis just popping up and making me jump than some crappy linear new first-person shooter. Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, and a bunch of other shooters from the 90s had that "Here's the first level, have fun kid. Some monsters started where you spawned? Too bad." Now most games are all about a long introduction scene with constant interruptions, pointless cut scenes, and no sense of exploration. Too much hand holding. I honestly can't think of a recent new first person shooter that REALLY reeled me in. The last shooter that I actually made a big deal about was Half-Life 2.

Me and my buddies actually still get together and play four-player Bomberman once a week on the SNES or Genesis. We actually play Quake II on the N64 as well (you can't duck for some reason). You can't beat the classics. Even music was much better in the 90s and before, along with most movies.

The latest game that have exellent multiplayer is Quake 4, and i love singleplayer of quake1 (in quakewrld i sucks, i love doom, and play doom everyday at zandronum).

[spectre]

I still play Doom and Quake a lot. I also play some newer ones as well (e.g. Skyrim, GTA5, DIRT 3). If I had decent latency to the US I would still be playing Quake online.

Nothing wrong with that. Games (especially shooters) didn't really get much better in terms of gameplay. It's a nostalgia thing for me as well. I miss the old days when public servers were constantly full. Maybe I am just an old man trying to relive the past. Who knows.

Doom and Quake may have had a bigger impact on gaming (and technology in general) than any other. If anything you should feel proud and lucky to have been there when it all happened.
