Games you miss playing

Forget nostalgia, and move past it! Everyone else has. Find out what your friends who used to play Tribes are playing now. Nothing Lasts forever. Go with the flow, and get into new and better things! You hated Tribes at first, so you'll probably hate everything else, but in time you'll find something better, just as everyone else has.

Thanks, but I think you missed my point.

Lately games that have come out are lacking the very qualities that made their predecessors so popular. Moo3, SimCity 4, Civ3, and Unreal 2 for examples.

I never played SEIII, so for me SEIV was a new game.

Unfortunetly, a few of the poeple that I used to play tribes with are dead now, and those who are still around, don't do much of anything on line any more.

What I was trying to convy was the emotion the game brought out. The feeling that I had once experienced while playing. For me that time has passed, and I do miss it. Much like one would miss an old friend. You see, the game is really all I have left to help me remember my fallen friends.

Sarcasim aside, I do understand your point about it being time to move on, I have, but such is real life, we do miss the good times, and that I hope I never move past.

Tunnels & Trolls on my TI-99/4a. I'm sure it still works but can't find the right kind of coal to power it. Simple and unpredictable....And so was the game. It was one of the first computer roll playing games I ever played. I had fun playing it and that's how I judge other games now. When I play a game now I ask myself "Am I having fun, or is this just another job"

SE4=fun
moo3=job

The mans right, you young pups might not follow him, though.. Its not about the game, its about the experience playing. It could be anything, any group of people, any team or community. Any sport, martial art, race team, motorcycle club, or group of bar-flys.

I went into my favorite corner store about a year ago. I hadn't been there in about a year, since then. It was owned by this Italian family, they always a broad selection from many cases of wine, and this little deli where a little old lady that all the regulars called "mom" would make the best sandwiches you ever had. fresh sliced meat, sharp cheese, and a lot to choose from. When I showed up Last year, it had a new owner. He had pulled out the deli and only sold cheap wine. He told me there were some packaged sandwiches in the fridge, next to the bottled juice. It wasnt the same.

I remember walking in empty places where my friends and I used to congrigate, where I could find people on any given night to cause trouble with. I remember going back to old bars and finding all the regulars gone, and the grizzly old bartender replaced with some young girl with great tits, but that couldnt pour a drink to save her life.

some things do change forever, but you have to make new memories as you move on -- knowing that in time, those too will fade. all things die, its a part of living. you can keep a part of it alive as long as you carry it with you, and as long as you remember, theres a good chance that someone else does too. but things are never the same.
