Nostalgia: 1994

[Dinner]

Ahh, zip drives. I think I still have one of those in a box some where.

Doom is and always was terrible. It is what you played if you were planning to shoot up your high school and then blow yourself away.



NHL 94

Great call.

[Ben Kenobi]

The best!

Don't you know what site you're on!!! Civ? Pfft.

[Sava]

A few people I knew had Commodore 64. It seemed kind of useless. NES had more fun games. And as the 80's became the 90's, Commodore didn't keep up with the consoles. And PC's just crushed it.

[Ben Kenobi]

All my fave games are from 1996. HOMM2, Civ2, Diablo, Moo2. Warcraft 2 was 1995. Shandalar was 1997.

That was a fantastic era of pc games.

Nobody cares about anything you say. If you died tomorrow, it would make the world better.

Is this some sort of ****ing mindgame? BECAUSE IT SURE ****ING sounds like all your "FAVE GAMES" are from 1995 and 1997 AND NEITHER OF THOSE DATES IS 1996

[Alexander's Horse]

I managed to complete the entire Doom series at work

[Dinner]

The life of a government employee, eh?

[Alexander's Horse]

[Tuberski]

There sure was a lot of crappy music in that video.

But, Master of Magic made an appearance, so...

ACK!

Events of 1994:

South African Black Get to Vote, April
Mandela got 60 percent of the vote, far more than FW de Klerk who began dismantling aparthaid 5 years earlier. The flag was also changed to help erase some of their past.

Civil war in Rwanda
The spark that ignited a bloody civil war (500,000 people killed) was started by Hutu troops, which shot down a plan carrying the president of Rwanda and Burundi in revenge for allowing the Tutsi to share power.

Rwanda Genocide
Over 800,000 innocent Tutsis are hacked to death by Hutu extremists. The world does nothingIRA peace talks result in a cease-fire

Existence of black holes proved.
The Hubble telescope reveals conclusive evidence of the existence of black holes, which had been purely theoretical up until this point.

Run OJ, RUN
On June 13, 1994 Nicole Brown Simpsons and Ronald Goldman were murdered outside Nicole's house in Brentwood, CA. On June 17th, OJ and his friend Al Cowlings took flight from the police in his white Ford Bronco, in a low speed chase which ended up at his mansion where he surrendered.

Kurt Cobain's Suicide
Nirvana's singer, Kurt Cobain, dies at 27 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found by wife, Courtney Love, and a whole generation of teens mourned.

Nixon Died
April 22, 1994...Died of a stroke at the age of 81

Commodore Computers Go Bust
The final battle for PC supremacy in the home was finally won by Microsoft with its last big competitor for the home market now in recievership. Due to decades of mismanagement and insight this home based computer company ceased to exist!

TIL: Nikolai doesn't know what nostalgia means.

The great thing about Doom is that it was so easy to users to create their own episodes. There were websites where you could download literally hundreds of mods. It was like having a new game every day.

[Al B. Sure!]

The internet wasn't common in households in 1994, though.

I liked the secrets and secret levels.
