Oh God, I repressed this game. My parents bought this for me when I was far to young to even know what the hell I was doing. I played it for hours and got no where.... I might enjoy it now but the .... It felt like a punishment
Can I imagine? Yeah, I lived it. Even Internet browsers used to be text only. My first modem was <1 kbit/s. (For contrast, the last dial-up modem speeds were 56,000 kbit/s, and today speeds are often 1,000,000 kbit/s or more.)
The mouse came before graphical OSes for me, since games used it but games were executed from the command line MS-DOS. Of course DOS was also capable of using a mouse. I didn't really use an OS GUI until Windows 3.1, which was mostly a novelty at first. That came out in the early '90s. I didn't have any exposure to Macs until System 7 in the mid-'90s.
My daily driver these days is a MacBook Pro. We've come a long way!
It's impressive how fast our modems are compared to the 1kbit/s one! And yes, we've come a long way, and it's nice to look back at these things sometimes.
I thought Soft Garden's boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it's satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.
Like an actual, original console? If so, I'd say Master System. The 7800 sucks compared to the 2800 and the NES is so incredibly popular it doesn't seem as special as a Master System would be.
New OS what do you mean? My SS has a fenrir and a working memory card slot and I still find it a pita dealing with saves on this console. Luckily batsugun doesn't really need all that much save wise.
That's fair enough. I had no nostalgia for it and came across one cheap console with a broken power supply. Swapped that out then upgraded it. The price of games for the system are pretty crazy especially for Shmups.
I do quite enjoy it though I had a play station growing up and if I had the choice again it would be the PS. Though the Sega saturn is a neat machine and it does have some interesting games.
