Indeed, I always found the computer more worthwhile. I didn't get a regular allowance, meaning toys were gotten when I could get them, and I started getting bothered by how easily they could break or how you could lose parts. A PC was like a toy that never had these issues, it was always just there for your enjoyment. It could also tell stories like a movie, but unlike that I am actually exploring or doing something than just looking at a screen that does nothing. My mother used to download games, so the early 2000s have many games which I have nostalgia for, especially since I couldn't get new games with the switch to Limewire and all. Funnily enough, most weren't FPS titles, but various random genres such as RTS games. It wasn't until Doom 3 that I started searching out more in the FPS genre.

Nods, that is indeed a problem. I feel like Arena is a great game for quantity, but the problem is that it doesn't have much quality. Even compared to other games of the time, it just wasn't worth playing. System Shock was released the same year and was one of the better pre-1996 games.

You gotta love those mechanics. But yes, those are indeed what I was thinking of :P

Yes, that is the problem. It is more of a commercial industry. I miss Looking Glass Studios and still mourn their loss.

I am at 15000 cycles as suggested. You are right, I probably will make much faster progress, I am already on level 6 of the Y-Wing course. For a day, without any experience involving flying it before, I think that was pretty good.

Heh, that is indeed one thing to look forward to. That is sort of my mindset with dealing with all these games in general. I have done them, I even cataloged them, and I never have to worry about them again.
