![]() ![]() No one was buying up studios and killing the creative spark. Developers were trying everything they could think of in games and were avoiding doing what other developers were doing, not copying them. Almost every one was a completely new experience (when I managed to buy some sort of decent controller, went through many controllers over the years). I bought many games for my Commodore 128. Next gen Xbox console due as early as 2026 claim sourcesīut I think the most fun I had in gaming is a commentary on gaming today and the subject of the article. They patched it out after a while, and I don’t think any other game made that mistake again. Pretty hilarious the first time you see it, unless you’re the victim. It didn’t take long for someone to figure out they could start running around aggroing things and create a huge train of monsters following them, which they would lead to some victim where the train would switch aggro and kill that person. When EverQuest first came out if you aggroed something it wouldn’t stop chasing you, no matter how far you ran. You could see everyone’s chat bubbles then and one of them said to the other as they were walking by all this madness, ‘The good old days.’Īnother unforgettable experience was seeing a huge train in EverQuest. They were both carrying crossbows (of Vanquishing no doubt) and everyone could just tell they were beta veterans and those bows would’ve one-shotted anything in the game. These two guys were just walking down the path in the middle of all this, and no one attacked them. I was in this one area and there were a whole bunch of people around all killing each other. It had been in beta for quite a while, so there were a bunch of veteran beta players around and naturally they were practically invincible they were allowed to keep everything they got in beta. I’ll never forget an experience I had in the first couple of days after Ultima Online came out. ![]() I played Ultima Online the first year it came out, then many of the rest for about a year each: EverQuest 1 and 2, Asheron’s Call 1 and 2, Anarchy Online, Dark Age Of Camelot, World Of Warcraft, and Star Wars Galaxies. Later I bought many PCs and got into MMOs. Someday I’ll release that save code if anyone is ever interested, maybe speedrunners. I kept one code to myself, that starts Doom 1 on the first level with all weapons and ammo including the double barrel shotgun, which you can’t get until Doom 2 normally. I cracked the save code for the PS1 Doom 1 and 2 disc and generated a whole bunch of save codes with full weapons and ammo and it was published in an old EGM article. The Atari Jaguar gamepad was a near death useless hunk of plastic, the original 2600 joysticks were far superior. The 3DO gamepad would input random commands if you put even a little twist on it while holding it. I probably have the only digital joystick for an Atari 5200 in the world. I made a digital joystick that works perfectly. That stick made every single game completely unplayable on the 5200. There is no almost at all, about the horrible Atari 5200 analogue stick that flopped over when you let go of it. Most had fun games but except for the NES joystick and the Neo Geo sticks the controllers on all of those other systems made the games almost unplayable.
