De game-jaren

Retro is in zeggen ze … wel ik denk dat ik op het vlak van games gewoon in het verleden ben blijven steken. Ergens rond de eerste jaren dat ik een pc had, 1997 moet dat ongeveer zijn. Deze week kocht ik nog een game van dat gezegende jaar Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Jaja, de eerste, in 1997 had ik hem ook al, maar slechts de gekopieerde versie en die is dan es verloren geraakt. Toen ik hem deze week aan 2 euro in de Mediamarkt zag liggen brak mijn hart en nam ik heb mee en speel nu (toegegeven deels uit sentiment) iedere avond een nieuw level. Ik heb eigenlijk nooit de aanleg gehad om een gamer te zijn. In mijn eerste lic zat ik vaak soms uren met mijn maat achter zijne PC terwijl hij Diablo 2 speelde. Dat was best wel boeiend en ik gaf hem steeds tactische bijsturingen en opmerkingen, maar zelf spelen no way.

Het meeste van pc’s heb ik geleerd door te kijken. We gaan bijna 20 jaar terug in de tijd toen ik als 6-jarige vol verwondering stond te kijken naar die Commodore van mijn nonkel waar mijn neven Pacman, Ski or Die of Winter Games op speelden. Aaaah de tijd van de ‘echte’ 5,25″ floppy’s … Het moet 1994 geweest zijn toen ze hun Pentium kochten en we een stap verder zetten in de gamer-geschiedenis. Het eerste spel dat erop stond was Wolfenstein 3D, nog steeds één van mijn favorieten … fuck grafics, dit is gewoon een schitterend spel nah. Daarop volgde het iets mindere Blake Stone en nog van 3D Realms/Apogee verscheen ook Raptor. Dan kwam Prince of Persia, dat vond ik al iets moeilijker :p niets voor mij dus. En toen ging mijn wereld open: eerst met Dune 2 en dan met de eerste Command & Concquer (GDI en Brotherhood of NOD). Real time strategy bleek mijn ding te zijn en ik was dagen niet weg te slaan van mijn nonkel zijn pc, sommige dagen was ik er meer mee bezig dan mijn neven zelf. Dat waren ook de dagen wanneer ik mij amuseerde met het eerste en enige voetbalspel dat niet te moeilijk en te realistisch was voor mij: Fifa 94, het spel van de oneindige ommehaals en het 20 maal scoren door voor de keeper te staan. En toen brak de zon door de wolken en kocht ons vader een eigen pc. De eerste spellen die ik erop speelde waren Fury3x en het eindeloos boeiender Terminal Velocity. Het waren de jaren van schitterende games: 1996: Duke Nukem 3D (voor mij en een deel van mijn vrienden nog steeds een tijdloze first person shooter), Transport Tycoon, Civilization II (AoE kon hier gewoon nooit aan tippen) * 1997: C&C: Red Alert, Need for Speed 2 en Carmageddon * om in 1998 af te sluiten met Dune 2000 en nog een laatste stuiptrekking een beetje later met Starcraft. En ze mogen nu nog komen zeveren over hun Halo’s en Medal of Honor’s, mij kan het allemaal niet schelen … ik ben blijven steken in het midden van de jaren ’90, toen de games nog echte arcade waren en niet zo realistisch mogelijk wilden zijn. De games in de post vermeld zijn de enige die ik langer dan een uur heb gespeeld en die ik nog altijd hier en daar eens durf bovenhalen … noem het oudbolligheid, ik noem het nostalgie.

  1. Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at benchboutique reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.

  4. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at pebblecratemart produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  7. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at stocklily reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  8. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at cometcrate extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

  19. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at shorelinesupply extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  20. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at sunvendor continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  22. If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at woodlandvault reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

  25. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at saleandstyle kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  27. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at tubecraze maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  28. Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at spiceandsear kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.

  29. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at valleyvendor continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  30. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at loftlark confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  31. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at mythicmint reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  32. Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at marblemarket only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.

  33. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at awardatelier added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  34. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at quvera confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
