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.
