Can we go back to the 90s?
Please?
As far as games journalism goes, I'd take 1999-2001, the peak gaming magazines right before the internet obliterated them forever.
I still have some old PC Gamers that I remember put the whole walkthrough of BG2 in two magazines taking up like 20-40 pages. With color pictures and everything. Those were the days.
I wish I had kept my old EGM's. I really miss that sort of actual journalism with real reviews.
I forget when it was but i remember the day my brother got the "swimsuit edition" of GI, good times.
And then i found his playboy mags, even better times.
I remember once (think it was PC Gamer AUS) had screenshots from THAT scene in the American Pie movie hahahaha good times
I would say the 80s. When "gaming" wasn't a thing and "playing video games" is something only well-off hardcore nerds did because it required either an endless supply of quarters for the arcade or a personal computer that cost as much as a car.
I'd say the 1970s, but maybe NOT so far back that there's no ATMs. :P
But yeah, I do remember being amazed at the concept of being able to actually control something on the television, even if it was just a dot or a line or a lumpy blob that was supposed to be a ship or a tank or something.
You sure about that?

Ha, I think that's why I say if I were to freeze my tech in time it would be 1998. Because that's a short period of time where I had DSL but myself and a lot of people didn't have cell phones yet.
I can deal with a solid 384k that's always on. 56k modem that never seemed to connect faster than 33.6. No thanks. If I'm going to back to a modem just skip me back to BBS.
Yes.
"That game you like is TREASON!"
Coming soon to a reality near you!
2030: "We were told by anonymous informant that there was a copy of (game you like) in your residence. Upon search, game was found and seized by politburo contraband enforcement forces, along with others. Your crime has already been tried and sentenced. You will be transported to the nearest Gates Foundation bioprocessing facility for recycling and your family will be immediately processed into the Hunter Biden Memorial reeducation facility. Reflect on your sedition during transport. Hope and Change!"
(Insert game informer joke)
Oi you got a loicense for that TV?
That would be funnier if we didn't have to pay a license fee for tv in the uk
That's what makes it funny in the first place. The rest of the world knows you brits have to and we think it's hilarious.
In every scenario, the game was allowed to be sold at the store. Outrage can't exist after profits.
