Glory of 1999
Just like music, games had their hay days during the 1990’s and specifically towards the end. Just until music was lost to the voice alternation modules and tasteless DJ’s, there used to exist purely non altered singers singing from their hearts. And just like the games industry, there wasn’t much of a graphic advancement at that time, but this mean’t the producers had to spend less time on how the game looked and more on what the game should offer.
Worthy of movie, games like Homeworld or Homeworld 2, Age of Empires, Final Fantasy, Halo and many others add up to the stack of creative advancement. Homeworld which is a highly rated game was well known for its time but slipped out into the thin air, kids these days are stuck into playing their Modern Warfare’s, and Medal of Honor’s and others cliche’s that flood the market.
Just like a library of old classic movies, somebody needs to open a library of old classic games that are extremely hard to find these days where PC’s can be set up and loaded with R4 and other high end components, people should be given the freedom the play whatever games are available at a small fee without having to go through the pain of buying consoles and buying high end PC’s to run the games they wish to play. As I’ve noticed, just like we have people dedicated to preserving movies and books, there needs to be one to preserve the game market which is one of the biggest earning markets that currently exist in the world.
