how about having to have specialized "Boot" disks to push everything into "extended Memory" to squeeze out as much as you can from the 640k conventional memory pool games would use to run on. (im looking at you kings quest series LOL)
@heimdall19734 жыл бұрын
Ob. yes, QEMM was the one that was able to mama 634 kB of lower memory available with carefully calibrated driver loading that required a couple of reboots. And some DOS games (Cannon Fodder comes to mind) wouldn't even attempt to run with less than 630, even though there was megabytes of extended or expanded memory available. Yes, you also had to sort out extended and expanded memory for programs that could use it. Real mode applications could only address 1MB of memory, and 360 I think was ROM (BIOS routines, ...). So there was only 640 kB of RAM available, some of which was taken by DOS. For accessing more memory you needed to use protected mode, don't really know the details, but most programs needed memory managers, e.g. HIMEM or QEMM, that provided easier access to memory. Most programs using extra memory demanded extended memory, some were happy with expanded memory, and very few were able to use the memory directly. Windows 3, for example, wouldn't load without a memory manager. Windows 95 would, as it would wipe DOS and everything from memory and use it all directly for itself. Where Windows 3 had the "exit" option to go back to DOS, Windows 95 didn't (for obvious reasons), you had to reboot is so DOS was reloaded etc.

We thought nothing of it seeing as she was absolutely fuming until the next morning when we woke up to find that the memory card with 15+ completed games including Simpsons hit and run, God of War, Final Fantasy X, GTA San Andreas, Etc. got COMPLETELY wiped because she unplugged it as we were saving...

Load and enter open area, get 1 shot by enemy, die then rinse and repeat. Then you'll have to play the mini game of pressing the pause button inbetween the time you load the area and the time you die to reload a past save. It gets even worse when you mod the game with things like modern weapons mods that do 500+ damage.

+GerryMOTO For one, now games even with DLC cost less than a single game back then (roughly 90~100$). And that's not to mention how much money gamers spent at the arcades. Second, you'd be surprised how many games had various microtransactions back then as well, from smaller ones, like designing parts of the game so that you MUST buy a guide or official magazine to clear certain points (blowing up a specific unmarked wall in Zelda 1 or the whole Castlevania 2 tornado thing) to bigger ones like additional discs with bonus content and expansions (which even costed more than DLC since it had to be sold on a separate physical disc). Third, the most evil money-grubbing dickmove of all, satellite and cable game services... an obscure take on online play, through either satellite broadcast (Nintendo Satellaview) or cable TV (Sega Channel), both of which were not very good, both time restricted, meaning you could only play certain games during specific time sof the day, and the worst part, the cost for said services was astronomically high. The Sega Channel was a cable service, so no hardware was needed, but you had to pay a 25$ activation fee and a 15$ monthly subscription PER GAME (which changed to 20$ for all games later on), while the Satellaview was an add-on that costed around 140~180$ and had a 30~40$ monthly subscription for all games. As you might have guessed, it didn't last really long and the game library for both was very low.
@TheSliderW7 жыл бұрын
Lol, no. You're ignoring inflation, mixing various game systems, not mentioning a date and adding arcade players (?! wtf) into the mix. Also, I don't think the OP was talking about money but since you are... Games, and especially consoles, were globally cheaper yesterday compared to today and this will be true in the future as well as long as inflation rises and if the base game price doesn't drop below 40$. You can do a simple google research to learn about inflation and prices of games in time. Not to mention we're even luckier nowadays as we have sales, rental services, second hand markets and even media libraries that lends software/games for free. All this makes it possible to play almost any game that ever came out with any budget. On a side note : DLC is the only piece of shitty software that doesn't have much, if any, variation in price unless you get it bundled with a specific edition of the game which makes it even shittier ( in rare cases) like Darksiders 2 and it's updated edition that is more jerky and buggy. Which means that most console games out there with DLC have an expiration date on part of their content that will be locked up forever once the service selling it goes down or decides to disable/delete the hosted data. Even if you're willing to pay for it.

Then there's free DLC that comes with the game: "You got this exclusive item. You just have to go to this website, create an account, confirm your email address and fetch three goats from the well in the woods and drink milk from all of them, except the third one because he's evil, to prove you're human and get the item in-game".

Several games did release add-on content though. The difference was that it was actually added content, not just stuff they stripped from the base game and locked behind a paywall. The most notable one I remember was GTA 1, which had a London expansion pack released on a second disc. I also remember the command and conquer series had a few on PC. I personally like games that use autosave, but also allow manual saving. Manual saving is a great way to experience all endings to a game with multiple ending scenarios.

Loosing a CD key. Back in the day before cross platform DRM like Steam has. Oh, and having to have the CD physically in the tray to even launch the game. While I enjoy having hard copies in the event digital copies are pulled from stores due to licensing running out, I do like the ability to buy a game, and then play it on any of my computers without having to fuss with CDs and especially CDs that tracked and limited the number of times a key could be used, preventing you from installing a game you own on your own computer.

Hooking up consoles to like vcr or a head unit then being able to play on certain channels... So around the turn of coaxle cable to the a/v color hookups some game console came with a both option and some did not. Some tvs came with both options and older on es did not. But thankfully new (at the time) vcr and other things like surround sound head units had multiple a/v "in" capabilities. So picture me messing around with several old units hooking up a daisy chain of hardware to play an old game on fairly new tv or to play a new thing (at the time) like a ps1 or ps2 on a dinosaur tv. Those ones that were like 500lbs built in a huge wooden pieve of furnature, maybe it had a little swivel so the tv could point like 10 degrees left or right.

Which my parents took from me when theirs broke. Was soo sad to see my super nintendo without a tv. Luckily someone had 1 in a trash pile a month later down the street. It had no power button. I litterally stuck my finger inside the hole where the power button used to be 2 hit the button inside of it

David Daivdson, I got my uncles OLD tv, pretty sure if was a Magnavox or something, but I remember it had a little yellow stick that was behind a little door that folded down on the base of the tv and you had to use that to tune the channels to which all dials TO TUNE were also behind the little door. I think they did it like that was cause so there were no tuning knobs protruding out the front. I got the tv cause my uncle broke one of the dials cause he lost the little sick and he tried using something else. The stick had like 2 or 3 little prongs on it, the whole thing wasn't much bigger than match stick. Plus the tv only had like 8 channel BUTTONS peroid, you couldn't of watched cable on it if you wanted to.

Yep. Went through all those issues, though was pretty fond of the magazines. Was getting the nintendo fan club news before it transitioned and became nintendo power. Great overviews, every now and then you'd get a complete game guide. See who was scoring what or people submitting issues with posted fixes or solutions. Back when I played zelda I didn't even have a user manual, just the game cart. Used graph paper and drew all my own maps of dungeons and where the traps were. Never did have a gameboy, hated the lcd screen. Ended up getting the atari lynx which said 16bit graphics (was kick ass at the time) but they were still kinda rubbish. It was nice though, full color and backlit. Problem was batteries. It took 6 instead of 4 for the gameboy and instead of lasting 10+ hours only ran for like 3-4hrs. Easier to hold but larger and heavier. Games were a lot smaller than gameboy's mini carts though, more like sim cards.

Having all my cds getting scratched so easily cause I was a careless child who didn’t understand the importance of of disc management and the proper maintenance required to have a scratch free disc. Now I’m either smarter or discs are harder to scratch

one time i asked my dad for a ps2 memory card when i was a kid, and keep in mind the standard size is 8 mb... he got a 64 mb one, and i was like "HOLY SHIT WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU FIND ONE OF THESE? BEST DAY EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!". I was pretty impressed.

I know that this is an old post, but i have to throw this in. You mentioned losing a disc, but there was also having a scratched disc. Having a game, and not being able to see the cinematic because the game had a scratch. Aargh! Also there was the really old games where you had to prove you owned the game by having to type in the 4th word on the 15th page (King's quest series).
