It was a dark time.

It was a great time! Things and gaming still had magic! Today, we have seen it all, nothing really new anymore, we buy games (or not), but we do not get surprised, fascinated anymore like we used to back then! The looks slightly change with each new title - but we have been there before.
I was running an Amiga 500 from 1988 until I think 1997. Typed my diploma paper and ran SPSS on the Win95 machine of a close friend of mine.
Last game that truly electrified me, was Oblivion (late comer I was), and before that: SBP. The Aha!-experiences come only every couple of years now. Back then, in the 90s, they kept tickling in almost every months, at least several times a year.
