I so played Warcraft III today

Yes,

I pulled out this "old" classic today and played the single player campaign, something I haven't done in ages. I lately played more old games, especially old adventures like Sam 'n Max "hit the road", Full Throttle and Monkey Island 3 "The curse of Monkey Island" but even Kings Quest VI are games I now and then check back into, SCUMMVM makes this possible.. mostly.

Anyway, I played warcraft III "reign of chaos" and realized AGAIN how awesome it is to play games you haven't played for a long while but still were the talk of the month/year back at it's release date. The quality of these games are just absurd but I also realized that if you look at a current game people mostly first look at the graphics instead of gameplay. My point is, these games can compete with some games on todays market with quality and design without looking at the graphics (But to be honest, those old adventures have a truely unique graphic style.

It's just funny how some people would say when I play DotT "Dude that was/is an awesome game, rememeber this and that" or the complete oposite like "Why would you bother with such an old ugly looking game". I guess the difference is where "new" gamers have no sense of history when it comes to the game industry and have no respect for what came out years ago. In my opinion these people should be locked up in a room and start with some of the first games on the amiga and atari go all the way to current consoles/pc/mac games and then talk again.

Oh well, I guess I just realized how happy I am my father had a amiga with shit loads of games when I grew up and I have played these games.

Lucas Arts should have never canceled some of their new adventure games or sold them for epesodic content. Because it is cool in a way but a good adventure game needs to be big, long and frustrating at some points for me. All they do now is StarWars... yay.


KABOOOOOM... ehh. The end of today's post.
