How to learn to play live?
I ended up in one of the most remarkable time periods when one of the most popular games at 486, or even less, was the Prehistoric, Sim City and other classics that sometimes could not even compare with Saga. The games were of the type - I lost 3 lives - everything - try again, no save, and it was so fun to compete - who will go further, or even complete the game. I still remember how my brother and I walked on the prefix part 2 of "Chip and Dale," for a couple. I am already silent about the old Atari, to which games were recorded using a tape recorder with cassettes.
I remember for a very long time the choice of the game was too meager. Yes, and had to go to the "book" market, where there were layouts with disks. What torrents? That's bad luck, it’s not clear what to buy, the annotation for the games and the picture on the disc did not say anything about the quality of the game. I remember I miraculously got the game Diablo on the computer, and then we discussed the appearance of starcraft, which was written about in the game newspaper - there were times ... But then suddenly the game industry began to expand significantly. You could play hundreds of games, but there wasn’t time for everything.
Life and games ...
Games replaced many books, and remember how we read books because there was no other alternative. You can always play with friends on the street, but home time is just games. And gradually they filled life, it poured into sitting from morning to night, going to game clubs (yes, then there wasn’t any Internet, at best you won’t play a modem).
By the way, a lot of people skipped lessons, control, to kill two birds with one stone - not to get a bad mark and play. I remember when even the school management did raids on the club, and someone figured out in the classroom.
And then the Internet suddenly developed, and it became possible to measure strength with others. At first, everyone got to the counter, but again, not everyone had such a good channel, and the server too. Then they began to master something larger, for example, various kinds of online games. Some are browser-based, some are client-side. I got hooked on Ultima, played Combat, Mystery. The most significant thing about online games is the team. When you don’t play on your own, as if you were alone, you play for the sake of a team and a joint fan ... But alright ... Round two.
Why do we need games?
You know, when grades 10-11 begin, or even a university, more often it becomes no time for games. Anyway, adult life is important, because you need to find yourself in life, I wrote about it. And then sooner or later you leave the game, “To Real” as they say. But the team spirit and the spirit of competition are everything for the peasant. And I want to prove that you are better, especially when there is an opportunity in the evening to get into your favorite toy, sitting in an armchair and drinking tea or beer. And many are actually waiting for the moment when life will settle down a bit, and you can relax. Land, a garden and cottages are the same for the older generation, and why should not a successful businessman invest real money in full pack armor and come off in the virtual world? No? Is it stupid?
And how many such players really are? I don’t know how it is now, but before there were a lot of videos telling about serious people for whom online games have become an outlet.
Everyone has different tastes. For example, I played with pleasure both in Ultima and Combat, of course, I had to leave in due time, since the first one took too much time, and there was no money for the second. But he grew up and found at least someplace in life. I wanted to return to those glorious times and devote part of my life to games, but what to choose and how to be?
As I was looking for something to play ...
And so, I decided to remember my youth and plunge into the world of games. But what to choose, because time is also not so hot. I don’t want to choose between work, part-time job, personal life, and game. Therefore, for good, games in the style of Ultima - swing for years, and be active - did not fit. Although in a normal way - it really would be a fascinating pastime. The only thing is that we need a company. What's next? - browser games like “Traviata” - you build villages for yourself slowly, you make mines and raids on other settlements. It’s wonderful, but there’s no special drive, especially since it’s from a series - you don’t sleep at night, but suddenly a raid. As a result, once you miss such an attack - and the game for six months in vain. Also not an option. Third, games are something like Combat. When you come in sometimes to spend a couple of fights and go out. You playtime, no - your score. That's just the point - after all, you can swing like this for years, but activity in the same clans is necessary. As a result, the choice is again - either to devote time to it constantly, or not to play, because it’s easier to have a couple of rounds in the counter.
But the biggest problem is finding a worthy project. Of course, there is a classic, but there are modern technologies that can make a perfect interface and excellent gameplay. Games in the browser, collaboration on projects. What is the result?
And in the end, a bunch of browser games, of different genres, appeared. There are those who take us to the Cenozoic era, and you run there as a native or some kind of animal. And there are those who similar to Diablo 2, the level of graphics and gameplay, moreover, in the browser. Here are just some soulless ones. Or unplayable options that slow down. For example, you wish to find something like “Masters of Orion 2”, only on the Internet, and you only see Ogeym and her mean server clones under different names of game projects. There is basically nothing to play. And you understand that it is easier to limit yourself to rounds in Contra, Starcraft, Heroes 3 - play occasionally, and not be tormented. Although, you can play ...
Life is like a game ...
You can play live. Do not run away from the real world into virtual ones. Yes, there are no magic wands, no resurrections, and no armor that will protect you from everything. On the other hand, you can treat life as a game, paint conditional bonuses and achievements. Moreover, you spend time on yourself, on life, and not instead of it. And you must admit that living, in reality, is really great? You are not limited by the game interface, you can change the rules, find thousands and thousands of new acquaintances, relax with pleasure, and these are not sleepless nights in anticipation of an attack, at least if you play not quite adult games. And you have the right to prioritize a game called life - now.
The only thing is that it can be difficult to swing a character from 0. Now you may not have the best position in life, but the price is labor and time, you will start playing now - you will achieve what you want faster. In games, in fact - the rules are the same ... Well, if you want, you can continue to say that life is - g ... Well, you understand ...
