Do you remember what you and your friends played in childhood? No, I’m not talking about games with the ball, not war in the yard with toy machines, I’m talking about video games. After all, several generations have grown up, which played many games in childhood, and some continue to play to this day. Many, because of this nostalgia, replay many childhood games, remembering their first time, so to speak. I am a person who met a computer at five, and a month later I was with him on "you". Since I was born at the end of the nineties of the last century, and this was the heyday of the gaming industry, I found many games, about which I will tell.
I got acquainted with the computer not with my own, but with my grandfather, he understands me to this day a lot in them, so, coming to visit him, I always sat down at the table, turned on, heard the very sound of Windows XP after launch and began to understand. Basically, at first I sat behind the notebooks, Paint and various mini-players, such as Spider, Saperers and Pinbol. And even sometimes I play them now. But these were seeds. Then, at the beginning of the zero, my uncle sorted out in the games, reading certain books on 500-1000 pages, where various tips in games, as well as codes and other articles about new products and future projects were spelled out. He also collected the Gamberia magazines (now only disks with games for games and trailers that were part of the magazines have been preserved).
We will plunge in 2001-2003, at that time I did not even know about the existence of prefixes, even about the elementary Sega Mega Drive and Nes, but that, even about PlayStation was not heard. I spent time at the computer, I began my way with DOS-IGR, many of them were recorded on floppy disks, it was hardly possible to licenses, and even at that time it was rarely possible to meet them. There were a whole many games, more than a hundred, there were Simcity 2000, Simpark, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Prince of Persia, The Lemmings, Duck Tales, Mario (which to this day I can’t pass in any way), Dangerous Dave in the Haunted House and others. I still play the last one, once a year I go through it for sure, I have one of my favorite games, the plot there is simple, gameplay too, you can not bother, you walk along the mansion or caves and you carry the brains of zombies and werewolves, looking for your brother. Then they transported a computer with DOS games to the cottage, where instead of working in the bed I sat and played. And then I realized that such games are drawn for a short time, I need to switch to a new level. And in the collection of games by my uncle, I found a bunch of house, which I play and go through and in today’s days. These were Max Payne 2, Mafia – masterpieces of those times. Max Payne covered me with a cool musical accompaniment, perfectly conveyed by the atmosphere of Nuar, and also transmitted the charisma of the protagonist, the same Mafia was remembered to me by difficult missions, stunning plot, realism and free world (well, anyone would be surprised if I had not played at Grand Theft Auto).
I also began to stumble in his https://sky-vegas-casino.uk/login/ collection for little -known games, but still interesting. It was a game made based on the film of the same name "From sunset to dawn", in fact, the game continues the plot of the first film. Seta Gekko was planted, now he is running out of his term in the tanker-tile, but the story does not end there, the next batch of criminals on board arrives, they turn out to be vampires and capture the ship, now you become a set and your goal is to get out using various weapons, all the vampires looked frightening, were also colorful characters. This game was terrible and difficult for me, now I can pass it with closed eyes in a couple of hours. And so I loved my grandfather to sit on the computer during the day, in one hand, a plate with a pile cookie, in the other-a mouse (and I also found a mouse with a wheel, and the bulb monitors of the street). I also liked to kill the time in Wildlife Park – the simulator of the director of the zoo. And also at that time, two arcades about the mockery of a neighbor went through, but we are talking about two parts “how to get a neighbor”, real masterpieces. After some time, my uncle showed WWE RAW and MTV Celebrity Deathmatch, which pulled me for a couple of days. Moreover, these were games with recognizable personalities, as at that time they showed on the box and resling, and the “celebrities’ battles”, which were a parody of professional reselling.
And then 2004 is already coming. The year when I went to school, and thereby made new friends who had computers and older brothers. Then I learned about the brutal games that even now bring fun to me, because it is so cool to play them, games with the open world have gained special popularity. I met Postal 2, GTA, Doom 3, Manhunt, Crazy Taxi 3, Need for Speed. I already played Postal, but in the first part, which I do not really remember, but the sequel came in. Roam the Paradise’s town, search for every house in search of money and weapons, beat the policeman and animals, cut off their heads to dwarfs, urinate on women – all this was so fun, it was a real psychopath simulator, and all these actions were optional, you can live peacefully in the game, welcome everyone and buying products in the nearest runner. After meeting GTA, I finally fell in love with games with the open world, with various mini-mission, in it I liked the idea of customonist customization. Naturally, there would be no fun without cheat codes that pushed into the head of the players of the zero … Eh, Hesoyam, Baguvix, Aezakmi and others. It was unforgettable with them on the streets of Los Santos to start with them. It was very scary for me to play Manhunt, a bunch of unexpected screamers, a gloomy atmosphere, the eternal listening of the heart of the protagonist allowed me to worry. In Crazy Taxi, I remembered again the soundtrack and colorful characters. And in Doom 3 I went the maximum of the first levels, I returned to the passage after a few years. In general, at that time he was impressionable, he knew various game genres, it became interesting for me to spend time for games just like the same films. Eh, there were so many interesting games at that time. If you are tired of killing everyone right and right, then I immediately installed Hitman and Splinter Cell, in which I had to think through every step so as not to start the entire mission at first. I also tried to play Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but it was difficult to play such games on the PC, so I threw them quickly, without even thinking about the plot. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, a chic soundtrack and tireless gameplay pulled me out for a couple of months, while friends played Age of Mythology.
Oh, well, how not to tell about games about the war, especially about the Second World War. I was planted on them both my uncle and dad. After all, such masterpieces such as Call of Duty and Medal of Honor Allied Assault come to mind immediately. A wonderful plot, complex moments, had to hide in shelter and monitor a strip of health, because then the wounds did not heal after a few seconds after shelter, but I had to look for first -aid kits, because after several hits you are no longer a tenant. Eh, what cool games, I hope that the developers of Call of Duty will ever return to the origins of the series.
Then another legendary games such as The Sims 2 and Half-Life 2 came out. These were real time killers. I sat in them no less than in the same San Andreas. I was already familiar with The Sims series, but I didn’t really love the first part. But in the second I would play forever, the expanded creation of characters, their character, at home, and even the city could be rebuilt in the game. In Half-Life 2, I adored everything, from the graphic component to the plot, the first one already went to the holes. Acquaintance with the legendary game happened to the merged Beta, in which I never understood anything. In Counter-Strike, I loved to play at that time too, but did not give hundreds of hours such a game, because then there were much more interesting projects. I also remember how the "Local" was arranged by a friend. It was already possible to hear about licenses, but still the pirates ruled the ball, these were discs from “7wolf”, from “Fargus” and many others. But it was already interesting to buy a license, a bunch of disks, a colorful cover and a thick guide of the user.
But our regiments were clogged with ordinary "jewels" with logos of publishers of pirate copies of games. The time also began when he began to get acquainted with the consoles, these were the already mentioned Sega, PlayStation (played in Sonic) and PlayStation 2 (played in various fights and God of War). Also at that time, PSP was released, about which every child dreamed about, of course – it was a real portable console, which had the same GTA, who would not be interested in playing GTA outside the house and at the computer.
2006-2007. At that time, new consoles came out, it was impossible to look at them, letting the saliva, but they were worth a decent then. The magazines “Gambrine” and “Country of Games” have gained popularity in the class, from where we again got information about games and looked for reviews of the games you have passed, and finally recorded the codes on sheets, some also began to appear on the Internet, showed a “video game icon” with Zaitsev and a reheater and similar programs about games. Since then, we began to buy disks with a bunch of games in the basements, piracy time. The entire regiment of DVD boxes was scored, from which it stinked so, but had to endure. At school, we shared the news how the game was the game, what we used, shared the preservations. Then they learned about Steam, where the prices were still in dollars at that time.
I bought pirates until 2009, then I decided that it was better to put on the shelf something more beautiful and legally purchased, namely, I was already thinking about buying a license. He began with “jeweles” from “1C software”, then he began to buy various special, advanced and collectible publications, in which, in addition to the disk with the game, there were various objects, books, maps. Soon, in 2009, I bought my first console, psp. I began to officially engage in collecting in 2010, I continue this hobby and to this day. Games are a very fun pastime, a great thing to let off steam or sit and talk with friends.
