Spread the word....with a gameplay video...aka the nostalgia thread.

Spread the word....with a gameplay video...aka the nostalgia thread.

Feed the skeptics humble pie...or fondly reminisce

I've noticed that, other Sins forums, such as Gamespot and IGN, are nearly empty. What we need is a (dedicated) gameplay video! A nice little presentation of what Sins can do, yeah starving us of information is a good tactic, but whetting our appetites is a better one! It'll silence the skeptics who say Sins is too ambitious and won't gel (pfft, whadda they know)and sway the people on the fence from maybe to yes.

Well...discuss...what should be in this (hypothetical) video.

60 year olds playing a 3D real time epic-scale strategy game?
If I can pull that off when I'm 60 I'll be awfully proud of myself.

19, btw.

Amazing how this thread got completely sidetracked.

I dont think there are too many 60+ gamers... its gotta have something to do with you know, pre-pong era.

And in regards to this::::

I remember back when I saw my first computer mouse, it was a godsend after using the keyboard only, and the mouse had only one button and still used a ball, and you had to clean the wheels in the mouse when it didn't work correctly! Some mice today have 7 buttons, and I can't remember the last time I saw a mouse ball!

lordkosc - aaah hehe, that reminds me of my first pc, it was a 133mhz amd i think, with 64mb ram, and a 2gb harddrive. And that was in 1995 i think.
And one of the best games i remember was Dune 1 and 2 AND diablo the first

The first game I ever played (I know I'm too young to be nostalgic but here goes) was Worms. I must've been about five, and Dad was playing it on our old Acorn computer (don't ask me the specs I can't think that low) and I became hooked instantly.

Turning point in my life, for better or worse?

Better: I have greatly improved my knowledge of computers from reading system requirements

Worse: My wrist aches.

Ok, as we are already as far off topic as it possibly gets, I´ll add my memories too   

First game ever played was Elite (the first, original one, you know, CGA graphics with 4 colors at a whooping resolution of 320 x 200 pixles) on an Amstrad PC 1512 with, you guessed it, 512 kb ram and twin 360kb floppy drives (no, no harddisk at all) and at a whooping 8Mhz back in 1986 or 87.

Ah, where has the time gone?

This was an advanced game!   

Spectrum 48 (48 stands for 48kB memory), THOSE were the days... Five minutes loading times, screeching, TAPE LOADING ERROR... I hope those days never come back.   

Only once did I reconnect Spectrum after we got PC. I got an attack of nostalgia, connected the computer to the stereo and television, inserted an ancient cassette and waited for the game to load. I waited for two minutes, wondered how I ever put up with it, disconnected the whole thing and never looked back again.

Meh, tapes? luxury, in my day (not really but bear with me) we had this one big yellow big, with two fixed controllers and ONE game! four colors? vanity! we had only two.

but yeah i wonder how you guys ever put up with those loading times. I remember thinking Doom's loading time was annoying, but then again, I was a sega/snes kid.
