Making me ashamed to feel the way that I do
Even as an old person I get left behind with retro PC gaming talk because it wasn't until the mid 90's we had a computer that could run a game more complicated than Number Munchers or Breakout.

I really, really hate Breakout

carmen sandiego games. Never learned a thing. Just guessed until i got a cool animation or lost and then turned it off and played load runner returns. The monks ripping you apart animation was cool so it was awesome to die.

If I were somehow able to get the Gravis GamePad Pro demo CD working on a modern PC I'd likely die of an epic nostalgia induced orgasm and Be completely fine with that.

Sometimes I buy a copy of Retro Gamer magazine and it's good but they always talk about awful looking European poo poo for Amiga or zx spectrum or something like that as if it was good.

I asked for a flight sim game as a kid. My parents got me a pretty good joystick instead. So I spent like four hours Christmas afternoon downloading some random flight sim demo, it was good times.

Reminds me of a game on another of the 300 shareware demo discs I had as a kid; Seek and Destroy.

That one was good though.
