you do realise that in 1995 the saturn and playstation were out wihch completely kicked the crap outta PC's until Voodoo 1/Voodoo 2 came out and was taken advantage of right?

Actually that same game you mentioned was ported to the saturn, using a re-worked powerslave engine, and actually had better lighting (using real dynamic light points). Sprites weren't quite as detailed due to memory though, but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

Just a note, I'm not disputing PC's hardware power...just that point in time. :P

Not disputing that, but the thread was started based on graphics.

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]Graphics alone don't make for a great game. Remember Dragons Lair? I was blown away with how that game looked, but it sucked hard.blue_hazy_basic

I'll tell you what, the "multiplayer" era of game on PC's STOLE MY LIFE!. Between Diablo, UT, Tribes, and Quake...I was non existant to the world.

Before that...0o0o Blake Stone, Duke Nukem, Rise of the Triad, Blood, Hexen, Doom, Commander Keen, Jazz the jackrabbit, etc...0o0o boy...gaming the 90's was some of the best period. esp! 94-99.....thank you god for those experiences.

People preffer consoles over Pc's and PC's over consoles for their own reasons.For some people the best gfx or games library doesnt matter as much as ease of use.PC gaming and console gaming are 2 radically different things which can not be compared easily and when people realize that system wars will be a better place

I play all xbox games on pc or at mates house. i dont think i'm really 'barred' out. Maybe on psp games... Anyway, it was all about CS. Any CS fan will know how glorious those days were. Also i love games like RollerCoaster Tycoon, the total war series, civ series, red alert series and many other RPGs and RTS and FPS. Oh, and anyone who used to paly flight simulator will know how inferior consoles really are.

I was expecting a little bit more than 4 measly screenshots....

Duke Nukem was good, Warcraft II > Warcraft.
