Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! I Felt nostalgic for my youth when I first discovered how to navigate the Internet, back in the day numerous companies would produce stylized websites and game demos. These would be highly more "personal" than the advertising of today and I just wanted to go back and relieve that! Thanks for watching!

@@henrydillard6217 Does QBasic Nibbles count as a PC game, because that'd be my first on a IBM DOS-based PC at school. If not then next would be Command and Conquer: Red Alert. First game I played on a PC at home. I got the UT GOTY Edition at Target and it came bundled with the Chaos UT mod and Unreal Gold, and unsurprisingly, played UT first. That would be the first PC game I played at home that *I* bought myself. C&C was actually one my brother bought.

4:12 I was writing a journal yesterday and I described it's early days as "humble beginnings" as well. That's cool that we agree. 5:23 America's GTA began on May 1st in 1998. IIRC, the original was released in 1997.Z 16:19 Oh my gosh. Those colours! 😭 27:50 The 2004 version of GTA2 made for Windows XP works incredibly on my Windows 10 gaming machine. Obviously I have to install DirectX and all that fun stuff but once that's done, it works great. The demo is probably a different story though.

[@robertpaulson8790]

I agree with your rockstar sentiment. Like if a stranger robbed you, you wouldn't be happy but you wouldn't be too shocked at their behaviour because you don't know them. But if your mother did it; that'd be messed up.

6:43 this has so much potential for memes lol

[@terminhaider9695]

The actual struggle of watching Muta trying to run these old games on a modern PC hits home HARD. There are specific games from Windows 98 era that are extremely difficult and some that have easy fixes from a quick PCWiki search. For me it was getting good old Need for Speed 2 Special Edition and 3 Hot Pursuit. Idk what changed between the 1997 and 1998 releases of those games, but my experience with getting 3 to run on my Windows 10 64 bit machine was 10 times easier than it was for 2. I even made a video on how to make those games run on "modern" machines a few years ago, but with NEWER OSes with their constant updates as well as 10's, who knows if my guides can work for *every* device. It's not a 100% guarantee Edit: Windows 95 for NFS 2 SE because NFS 3 came out in the fall of 1998 after Windows 98's summer release. Duh I guess, but I think another detail, NFS 3 MIGHT be a 32 bit program? Whereas NFS 2 is definitely a 16 bit program whose errors I had to find workarounds for

Look up Grand Theft Auto Max Pack, made by some fan, it has GTA1 pre-wrapped in DOSbox with all the settings already adjusted so it runs on modern PCs.

[@VikingTeddy]

I just had the most disturbing Mandela effect. I remember playing GTA on the Amiga when I was 18, which would have been 1995. I spesifically remember it because I'd just moved in to my own apartment and bought a used Amiga. It was one of the first games I owned on it. Brains are weird man...

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

@@VikingTeddy Couldn't have been in '95, but it is possible you are remembering playing Payback on the Amiga, that was the first ever GTA clone. Never played the Amiga version myself, but have the GameBoy Advance port which is basically the same gameplay wise. Though even with the camera more zoomed in, the GBA version runs at like 13 FPS when things are calm, but explosions or using the helicopter can drop it down to like 2 FPS. Still amazing it works at all though: a 3D open world with physics engine, lighting, and partical effects on the GBA is crazy!

[@DatOneCat]

You know, going back through these old GTA sites and then the older games. It made me consider a couple of things I missed in older GTA titles that GTAV doesn't have.And that is the little bit of silliness to the games. From either the ragdolling of GTAIV or just the spastic movement and animations of the PS2 era GTAs.

[@rfmerrill]

I missed if Mutahar mentioned this but: The original developer of GTA was DMA Design and the first game was published by BMG Interactive. In between the first two games, BMG Interactive was sold off to Take-Two who then created the Rockstar brand under which the GTA Franchise was placed. DMA Design did not become part of Rockstar until after GTA3 when they were bought out and renamed to Rockstar North.

I rode my bike a total of 10 miles that day to get to the local mall and back. I spent all the money I had saved up to buy it the day it came out. I took the game out of the CD and threw away the box so my mom didn't find out. Ha ha... Such a good time.
