I've just been looking through the best frags thread. It kicked me down memory lane and i started to think about PC gaming between 1995-2000, they were the best years.
So the graphics aren't great but you still cannot beat a good Quake2 CTF match, same goes for a UT deathmatch, Half Life single player anyone? Dare I mention Carmageddon? The original GTA? The Broken Sword series? What about PC Zone being a measly £2.99
I remember buying my first 3dfx card with glee! Now there is a new GFX card release every week, it seems like the market is flooded so much so that its not as fun as it used to be. Even forgetting the consumer related side of things, the community has grown that big now it's as if its too big. I remember being able to log onto the same Quake server and see the same people day in day out..... now there is much less chance of that for your casual player.
