While I was in Okinawa, Computers, electronics and Games took a big leap forward.
Cell phones were becoming common place, Bulletin boards were replaced with web pages, email was catching on and online gaming was becoming very popular. Dial up was the way we connected, I had a kick ass 1400 modem lol. Now it was time to play online.
Quake 2 was one game I played allot, also by Id software. The quake series was fps king,for quite sometime, it had over 30 single player levels and a great soundtrack as well.
I have always liked games with a horror theme, so when Blood hit the streets it was my new number one - it took game gore and violence to a new level. Kicking heads around the floor, dual wield weapons and a spooky soundtrack. A mirror, never seen that before, and a whole level on a moving train. It was a fantastic game.
I now had a PC in the 400mhz range and my first video card- a voodoo2 by 3dFX.
Along Came Starsiege Tribes, the first online only game with no single player levels. This was the game for me for the better part of 2 years. Quake had become rife with hacks and this new game was a riot - a si-fi rocket-pack on your back shooter.
Two other games filled out my roster, Xfing v/s Tie fighter - hands down the best Star wars flight game ever made, and Command and conquer red alert, one of the best rts I have ever played.
There were many other games, but as I said before I wanted to touch on those i found the most enjoyable. New games and new game developers were coming out every week, EA and Blizzard were 2 who had some cool stuff, now they are huge.
I am a big fantasy fan from way back, and as I began to spend more time looking for games I stumbled on a few that were great....
