Do you wish you could go back in time in gaming?

I feel that I could go back to around 2003 or 2005 when you needed was any console a small TV, I wish games like R&C 1-5 and NFSMW were around for me then, all the great games that were the champions at that time, there are so many of them. I just hope that the PS3 will have PS2 Games on PSN. That would be heaven.

Not really since I can just buy past games that Ive missed.Anjunaddict

No. Why? We can play all the games from the past AND the new ones that come out.

Yes, as a PC gamer the Golden Age for PC Gaming was 1997 - 2000.

During that 4 year span there were at least 20-25 excellent games each year made for PC FIRST!

With the possibilities the PC and Windows brought to the table then, there were so many great creative games then.

Off-subject a little.......

Yesterday, i started a very popular Poll on System Wars concerning Best Game Last generation......the thread was eventually locked to be placed on the Legacy platform Forum.

I'd appreciate it if you guys would vote on the new Poll, man it was close!

WTF TC??

Only thing I would do different is by purchase few games that I passed on that are now hard to find.

Somebody you got pregnant?

Sorry... I... I just couldn't resist :P:P :oops::oops:

I would rather go into the future to see how gaming has changed 20-30 years from now, and then again in about 100 years.

I want to go back to 2005 with the knowledge I have now.

Back before console ruined all the great PC FPS games.

I wish I could go back to the SNES/Genesis and N64/Saturn/PS1 wars. Now that was gaming at its finest.

wish i could go back in time to when gearbox made opposing force and bungie made ONI and activision didnt own blizzard

I wish I could go back in time and play Spyro on a little TV instead of say, going back in time and smothering Hitler in his crib! :roll:

No, because I already lived it. What would be the point of going back to play the same games when I still own all of them?

I would love to go back to the golden age of the arcade. You can buy old games, but I never got to wait in line to challenge the best Mortal Kombat player. You can buy old games, but the arcade is dead :(.

i wish i could go back in time and punch whoever it was that thought up the points system for purchases in the face, 100 times

Sure. The older I get, the more I come to appreciate what games are and what work goes into them. When I was younger, they were fun, but I'd like to go back, say, when Super Metroid came out and play through it the first time with a better perspective and insight into games that I didn't have when I was younger. Other than that, not really, there's no reason to.

I'd go back in time and NOT sell my ps2 and psone games to gamestop for store credit. What a stupid move..

yep to play the old game of stickball in the 1950's so simple times

I don't think I've ever enjoyed gaming more than I do these days.

However, I can see where the OP is coming from. Playing a PS2 game now will never be the same as, say eight years ago, when what they were doing was cutting edge innovation in both graphics and gameplay. On the other hand, this doesn't temper my excitement of getting my hands on an older game I've always wanted. A great game is not disposable.

I would rather go forward then backward in time.

Could be amazing.....or horrifying.

I hear you brother

yeah i wish to go back in 1994-1999 period ( imo best era of pc gaming)adamosmaki

From the Polls I made in the PC Forum .....

I'd say the Golden Age of PC Gaming was the 4 year span 1997 - 2000, interestingly enough about the same period 3dfx was the king of Graphics Cards. By the way, don't forget 2000, that was a great year for PC gaming.

January '97 saw the release of Diablo and GL Quake (an open-GL version of Quake that began the rise of Graphics cards). Also, Quakes' first 2 expansions were both released that month.

PC was brilliant for the next 4 years, but in 2001 it began a decline thanks to the rise of PS2, X-Box (Halo was released that year), and GC.

Developers sadly took a turn towards developing for consoles first, and it marked the dumbing down of quality games to use on consoles.

PC gaming will never die though, but 1997-2000 was the Golden Age of PC Gaming. Hopefully for whatever reason there will be another one.

We need more creative games like System Shock 2, Sacrifice, Planescape Torment, MDK, Battlezone, and Dungeon Keeper.

Never. I have all of the previous consoles to choose from, plus amazing HD games. It's a great time to be a gamer.

I would love to go back to the golden age of the arcade. You can buy old games, but I never got to wait in line to challenge the best Mortal Kombat player. You can buy old games, but the arcade is dead :(.
