Thank you so much! :) And you know, most of us are in the same boat. And it's good to reminisce playing these oldies, as some of them are re-play worthy. :)
While there were a lot of good games I played in the 90's, Phantasmagoria was my absolute favorite in terms of setting, the mood of the game, how long it took to play, the technologies used, etc, etc. I played it with a friend and it was seriously scary AF 😄
@@OldAndNewVideoGames Yeah, you describe games in a interesting in sometimes funny way. :D Maybe I'll find a probably unreleased FPP shooter that I played around '98 and I'm looking for it for years :)
@@Kris-kw8fr What do you remember about it? Setting? Sci-fi? Modern? Fantasy? Enemies? Weapons? Story? Anything. Perhaps we can help you find it. By we, I mean my viewers and I. :)
@@OldAndNewVideoGames Sci-fi, I fought with cyborgs, or robots, or guys in sci-fi armors. Important detal was that you were respawn after death. Maps in that demo (or shareware) was closed. Not so big - few rooms connected with corridors. Menu was like Doom, HUD was at the bottom. In demo there was 2 or 3 maps. It was very close to Eradicator. I had that game probably from 12 CD German edition of "PC GAMER" or from "Gry strzelanki", or "Gry akcji" by Albion Multimedia publisher. However I checked almost every game from the later and didn't find it :( I think that there was only demo, or shareware version - otherwise I would have found it already :)
@@Kris-kw8fr So it was a sci-fi first person shooter that was not story based but more like an arena centric one? Like Unreal Tournament or Quake III Arena?
Thank you very much! I wouldn't recommend dropping work for it though... Unless you're self-employed, then yes, by all means, go ahead and have some fun. ;)
Thank you! :) Mordor is a game that was DOA. It looked and sounded dated when it released, and on top of that when you launched it, it kicked you in the head with a robust character creator that not everyone cared to learn, and that's probably what kept more players from ever experiencing it. xD
Glad you enjoyed! And thanks for watching! The next one for Early Windows should be out in more or less a week. But there'll be other videos before too. One for Obscure DOS games, and Halloween special which should feature few platforms.
Thanks! :) And oh well, such is life... TH-cam's algorithm suggests content more often if it's watched more, so unless it's liked and shared, it's not gonna changed much. :)
I dont remember the camera being that twitchy in Big Red racing. I think it has to do with the mouse polling, as it subsides for a moment if you move the mouse. Also the camera doesnt glitch in the race previews, I hope there is a way to fix this.
Well, those pieces of hardware and software are quite pricey now, and will be even more so in the future, so you could argue that it's an investment. ;)
@@OldAndNewVideoGames I have already copiously funded my pension plan now! Haha I wish, some of that retro stuff is ridiculously overpriced and governed by the same kind of imbeciles as the art market imo
@@Machovelli Well, definitely it's not the time to enter retro market. Though I fear it may never be again. And we're better of buying current stuff and just keeping it with hopes of it gaining in value in time. xD
Seriously great job, im 45y old, started 9y with Atari 65XE, Amiga 500, Amiga CD32 and PC Pentium 60 and im still playing. I love to watch retro games movies :) Thx.
@@krzysztofkzi2598 It was C64 -> A500 -> AMD K5-PR133 for me. After that it was an odd mixture of various PCs, laptops and gaming consoles. I haven't stopped gaming yet and I don't intend to. Btw. since we're similar age and from the same country, clearly, do you remember the gaming wars between Atari and C64 that the gaming mags used to spark up? It was crazy when you read about it, but it never happened in real life. At least not where I lived. People would just play each others systems. There were no real arguments anywhere...
You mean chapters? I might get to it at some point when I've little more time. Since I basically work on new videos every single day, those long form ones, that are smaller ones put together usually don't have these. But like I said, if time allows, I'll try to fill them up. :)
@@OldAndNewVideoGamesdont worry my man. Nice work. When something is good ages like wine and we will see those chapters. People can do it if they want too haha
@@OldAndNewVideoGames there is a sequel called Yoot Tower, although it's visually not much different. TIM aged incredibly well, a true timeless classic. I think the Tower games are also still very playable.
@@LCTesla Yoot Tower afaik, though don't quote me on that as I'm working from my memory, was a bit expanded version on original formula and added variety that original Sim Tower lacked after couple of playthroughs.
How could you no show the hunting minigame of Oregon Trail 2?? Or was the minigame absent in this one? And how could you talk about Rayman without mentioning how impossibly hard it is?
There's no good answers to questions starting with "How could you" ;) Well, I suppose it just happened the way it did. If I ever talk about them again, in another video, I may mention both. Well, show one, and mention the other. Not much I can do about already released video. ;)
hello, thank you for all these great memories. there is one game i've been looking for, it's a midnight blue theme with magic side scroller (like mario) game the main character is a short midget person lol i never learned the name. i do remember when dialog mentioned "BIG JUMP". the setting was at night with stars and it had a very blue theme in mid-evil times and i think the character was a mage. i played a demo of it on a shareware cd with doom and many other games. back in the day when they sold these demo games for cheap or free. i believe it was created in the early to mid 90's. do you have any clue what this game would be???
Cool compilation, but it’s odd for you being a game historian, that you said Wolfenstein 3D was the first first person shooter (it’s Catacombs 3D) 13:02
@@Grillparzer Glad you like them anyway! :) Some mistakes are bound to happen, as I'm all by myself. Well, there's Batman, but he's either doing nothing or a figment of my imagination. Hard to tell sometimes. ;)
@@Grillparzer I think neither. He moved here when he put down the cape. Initially he was meant to edit and upload my videos. In exchange for food and occasional chance to crash on a couch, but he kinda stayed, so... xD
@@OldAndNewVideoGames Doom was never an officially licensed Windows product, along with many other games in this list. Running it in DOSBox does not make it a Windows release.
Do you remember the controversy that came out when those white nationalists released the total conversion for Doom that turned the different imps and demons into stereotypes of races? My son is 14. I told him about that conversion and he didn't understand why someone would want to do that. I think we are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.
Oh, we are but there are a lot of things that happen now all over the World that also makes me think otherwise. I hope you excuse me if I wont go into detail but I've made a decision 5-6 months ago that I'll keep the channel politics free as it was causing me issues in the beginning.
i‘m sorry, but who in the world would want to play the annihilation of the american continents? i know i wouldn’t. it’s like playing the holocaust. who thought that this was a good idea for a game?
In not gonna vouch for this or any other particular idea, but that's what it is, an idea for a game, nothing more. I mean, all shooters or WWI or WWII strategies are basically the same thing. We're free to choose what we want to personally experience, though. :)
