With my mates? Highlights for me were entire days playing Sensi World of Soccer, popping outside for a kick about whilst waiting for the next season to load in. Also watching my mate playing the first Resident Evil. When that first zombie turns around and looks at you! Aaaarrggghhhh!! Oh how we laughed when his limited knowledge of the controls totally left his panicking head. DEAD! 'Fancy a go?'.......'Errmmmm....no.'
Championship Manager - waiting hours for the new season to load in - the excitement when it did - have I any quality youth players? - how well have my players improved? Speedball 2
This thread is bringing up memories from the good old days. I remember seeing football manager on the zx spectrum. Putting your name in the team was mind blowing. Then, when we weren't playing out, we would play matchday 2 on spectrum. Thinking chronologically here. Played golf on the mega drive after a sesh. Still havnt enjoyed a golf game more since. At university it was my mates SWOS which would entail loads of us and a good drink. Then fifa and a racing game I cant think the name of. Then wife and kids. I'm lucky if I even get any of my tv before 10 never mind gaming.
Curiosity has led me to read up on it. Apparently, its accurate in terms of costumes, objects, buildings etc but takes some liberties in order to make the storyline work. Some of those are to do with the mythological elements so its not like they're historical fact. They are (obviously) long established stories though so I feel little bit uneasy about those changes. Still sounds like a great game though! Edit- that's not to say that I'd allow historical inaccuracy to spoil my enjoyment of something.
This was state of the art in my day Pong on some box that plugged into the TV I studied computer science at Uni and we didn't even have a monitor, just a teletype machine with streams of paper printouts. Those were the days - well maybe not.
Yeah that's about right, the storylines aren't necessarily accurate but they make sense in the context of the time and fit into the world created in a realistic way. It's more the recreation of the buildings, statues and cities that are authentic as you say and they are genuinely stunning. I did wonder how you'd feel about it as a historian I'd be the same I reckon haha, still a great game regardless of the glorious vistas anyway.
There was a game on the Spectrum ‘Emily’s Hughes Football’, first game with diving keepers. Rocked my world that. They never saved owt but looked like they tried.
I try not to let things like that affect my enjoyment of stuff. A lot of the time there's probably stuff that I don't notice. Sometimes there's something that I find irritating but not often. It sounds like AC Odyssey is pretty good though, so I'll give it a try, when I get the chance.
Remember on sensible soccer the mad teams of different biscuits and such, haha. Half way line diving headers or cut on from left and gab full Aubameyang
