"Love uses a scale which is a stranger to friendship, the time!"
random quote, roughly translated
Jacek, I can understand the point in your Wolf3D review. Whenever I re-discover an old love from the past and start to play it, I feel slightly disappointed on how it looks and feels compared to my memories. These old games were always looking better and more fun to play when I was younger.
From your profile I read that you are 18 - that means that you were merely one year old when Wolfenstein was released. I don't know if you can grab the feeling of these days. PC gaming was in it's childhood and Wolf3D was a milestone when it came to market.
It's just different views - compared to current games this one is crap. I wouldn't look at it nowadays, even if it came for free in a ribbon wrapped box - if there weren't the good old memories that made it fun to play and the honest admire of what was possible these days.
Maybe you are right, and you are not the person to write an article about this game for AT, which is intended to be an oldgames magazine, but this isn't a reason to leave Abandonia for good. You are around here for such a long time - even longer than I am. Just imagine the times when you've started to play games, probably around 2000, when you were 10 years old. At that time games like Command & Conquer, Diablo 1 or Dungeon Keeper were state-of-the-art. And now go and ask 10 year old children today about their opinion of these games. You know what they'll tell you.. They're crap! You'll probably notice, that you also belong to the scrap heap already?
There's no reason to leave this forum, even if there are some people who have already put on more rust than you have. We're here for the old games, everyone with his own perspective. View these gems as gaming history - that's where they belong, but not necessesarily what they deserve from a certain point of view.
