Well, it seems you Abandonheads have spoken. Uno DOS to rule them all and all that. It was interesting to see that a few thought the arcades era was the golden age.
BTW: The Babbage option was for those who couldn't get far enough back in time. For real sentimentality. A serious option written as a jest. I guess everybody agree that it takes a few tries to get it right, also so with gaming. I suggest this poll to be closed, and be left as a testimony that Abandonia is indeed the home of abandoned DOS-games.

Maybe I'm a little late for my contribution...
To me, it's as follows: Golden Age of gaming: 1977 - 1994 (or Atari - Sega 32X and everything inbetween) Silver Age of Gaming 1994 - 1997 (or Saturn - Dreamcast and everything inbetween) Modern Age: 1998 - now I voted C64, simply because it was my first home computer (ok before the C64 I had this Ping Pong tv game console with pistol) and had a wide range of games that looked amazing. Yie-Ar Kung Fu simply ruled back in 1985 (I was going to insert a nunchacku smiley, but I must've seen it on another board...) |
