[start] Ah, how I love to reminisce. The golden days of my childhood, mostly spent playing computer games and watching T.V. It was so different back then, now all I do is play computer games and watch T.V, except now I`m a bit older and the times have changed. The T.V shows I`m watching are different and so are the computer games. Well I still catch the odd re-run of Knightmare and from time to time I blow the dust off of my trusty ol Amiga 600 and pop in Frontier: elite 2.
What happened to the days when playing video games was a simple affair. All you needed was good hand to eye coordination and the will to get past the 100th level without getting killed once. Now games are all about story telling and mindless violence. Back in the day, sure you had your games that were nothing but mindless shooters, but at least you were blasting away alien scum from the planet zorg. Now games like Grand Theft Auto and WWF Attitide rot the minds of our children teaching them to steal and kill without remorse or inflict badly animated, comedy violence towards one antoher.
I say, bring back space Invaders, bring back Pac Man and Bring Back R-Type... Oh, they already have. What a clever idea. Wait a minute. No it Wasnae! Theyve slaughtered the very essence of the originals. Pac Man Wordl! OMG WTF "lol". Have you seen the Space Invaders Game! Bah! R-type Final bum fluff... looks quite good actually. but thats not the point. Have you seen tyhe graphics on these games. They`re actually quite good, forgetting pac man world that is. WTF?!? Good graphics. Shite!
