“Nostalgia is bittersweet, you enjoy the feelings of what you loved but long for them too. Being nostalgic is a good thing, it defines who you are today based on who you were. Enjoy the positives and get rid of the negatives.”
give me a go of Doom on my own PC cause they hadn’t bough theirs yet. I played Doom til past midnight often, in the dark, wife and kids and bed and headphones on. Some nights I got so freaked out by those blocky monsters I had to switch off and go to bed. Yes blocky graphics and all, it was still brilliant. Virtual Fighter was massively popular even with the big blocky graphics but wonderfully playable on the Sega Saturn. I bought my first 3DFX card for my PC. Windows 95 got released and people lined up outside of software stores to hand over their hard earned money - around $279 US for a CD copy because the $300 million launch campaign was totally brilliant. The internet was getting popular and Bill Gates made sure Microsoft were going to be the choice to browse with Internet Explorer, and using the Rolling Stone’s song, Start Me up to really build awareness was just genius. The guy spinning the CD-Rom, Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry from Friends helped and the world went a little crazy for a while. Over 40 million boxes of Win95 sold in the first year - you can work out the cash flow... Take a look at the launch ad here: https://youtu.be/OPyWDMmYJhQ In 1996, Intel released the 100MHz Pentium and the N64 hit shelves. We played Pilot Wings 64, Mario 64 and we were in love with gameing! Quake was all the range with online battles and in 1997 the Rail Gun with its’ spiral trail was awesome fun. I can remember playing against a guy one on one, rail guns only, I went to bed tail between my legs that night, not a single win. Those were good times in gaming. Political correctness was decades away, there was no ISIS, and TV was, well... limited. If you wanted to see a movie you probably had a VHS video player and later in the 90s DVDs came out with people shelling out big dollars for a DVD player. Movies looked better, sounded better and we thought this was as good as it gets. Nostalgia... remembering those days I get a rush of those nostalgic feelings, remembering my favourite times. Playing PC games late at night, reading quality magazines with great reviews. Browsing the game store that had hundreds of games to choose from. They were a different time. Today I can choose what I want to watch with Netflix or iTunes or Amazon. I have fast NBN and I don’t know of any Video Stores anymore... they all closed up like the corner store of the 70s did. Now we got to the Petrol Station that’s open 24/7 for our bread and milk. We buy movies and rent them online. We store in the cloud and I don’t have to fumble my way through my DVD collection to find my favourite James Bond film. The world has changed dramatically. Some would say it’s better, others worse. It is what it is for now. Nostalgia is bittersweet, you enjoy the feelings of what you loved but long for them too. Being nostalgic is a good thing, it defines who you are today based on who you were. Enjoy the positives and get rid of the negatives.
