Online games are more popular then ever!
It seems that everyday new computer online games come out. The problem gamers are facing now is which online game to choose from?
I remember back in 1983 when nobody had that problem! In fact, when I got my first computer there was no online gaming existing. Thinking of it, there were not a lot of regular computer games on the market either. We were not even talking or thinking about online games! You can not miss what you don't know. Microsoft was starting. I wish I had bought some of their stocks at that time.
Yes, in those years, what we would call today the prehistoric age of computer gaming was not really user friendly. In fact you had to load a game from a cassette player (yes I said a cassette player) and we hoped for the best. Sometimes the download from the cassette player was not a success. We had to try it many times and when we finally succeeded it took a while to load, hey it was a big 4k program after all! My total computer memory was 16k... but believe me, we were hypnotized and excited by the new technology behind it.
Computer Online Games - Nowadays
Now we about stopped counting the mega bytes, the pixels and the memory, who cares... everything is mega and mega whatever is cheap. But you know what? We had as much fun back then with few puny kilobytes than today with tons of them. Today we are kind of spoiled with new technologies coming out month after month after month. You purchase a real brand new mega everything best computer, a top dog monster actually but months down the road the beast will turn into a regular pooch then few months later it will become a poor puppy that can barely keep up with the quick moving new top dog computers behemoths... yes, this is reality on the internet super highways where computers die fast after living only a short life. You can not even count the loads of "high tech has-been" road kills on each sides of the superhighway. Get out of the way slow poke or die!
One day back in the prehistoric age of 1995, a new bright world emerged from the ocean of the dark lonely world of my computer desk. A new beginning. I remember clearly the first day I got my first modem. A big heavy cumbersome lighting fast 300 baud modem! The beast was noisy and slow but it was fantastic since it opened up my small lonely computer world into a vast infinite internet extraordinary world by connecting me to a huge lifeline that will soon go around the planet. The online computer gaming period had just begun! Whoo hoo it was amazing! I forgot to eat for a while and going to bed became an option.
