@Fun With Minerals Ah ha! As far as you know. But what if you were hypnotized by that game and on nights with a full moon, a strong breeze, and temperatures hovering around 78 C you turn into a Sasquatch and go into a murderous rage killing campers with a conveniently found blade of grass?
Thanks for this i though it was something similar. But we can just take this whole video and change graphics and people will think it is about 2021 but with bad camera and mic.

Lol I remember being 5 years old in 91 in the basement with my dad playing Mario on the NES... great memories man! I rememeber we would leave the console on for days at a time until we would completely beat the entire game, since back in those days you couldn't save anything! Until the AMAZING life changing memory cards came out later!! 😂
@@DirtNassty Remember level codes?! Kids have no idea how good they've got it, even if the can't get the newest PS5 or Xbox. Even on easy modes, you HAD to be a gamer to progress.
Get off my lawn you young whippersnappers. This 52 year old gamer wants to play Zork!!! My first console was Pong. My first hand held was hand held football.
I'm 45/m and I remember in HS when dad upgraded from a 286DX to a 486DX he said I could have half the 120MB HDD for my games.....I couldn't even fill up 60MB if I tried back than.....I acutaly got the house a second phone line so I can stay online and play games and not get disconnected for any phone calls to the house or mom just picking up the phone.

@@omarsyed1980 Yes, level codes. 'Wanna get back to where you were last time? It's simple! Spend 5 minutes entering a 32-digit code using nothing but a controller. You're welcome.'
No One Lives Forever was an AMAZING game back in the day, only to be followed up by the even better No One Lives Forever 2. Spent many hours playing those games when they were HOT....lol. Actually makes me want to find No One Lives Forever 2 to see if it runs on a modern system.
N.O.L.F. was fantastic, I especially loved the humor in the dialogues, absolutely hilarious. It was one of the games that really got me into PC gaming.
@@Mandurath I disliked Vengeance, but I enjoyed Black Knight. They never did fix those hit boxes, though...surgical strikes and limbing were impossible. You'd trash center torso long before you ever got an intentional limb hit on most mechs.
CS 1.6 still has active servers to this day, over two decades later. This game aged like fine wine. I remember kids installing it on all the school computers so that we could play via LAN.
A friend of mine would set his PC up on my dining room table, hook up networking over a parallel port and play deathmatch GTA1. Oh, those were the days
I watched this all the time. Go back to the early years to get a real feel for the hardware evolution. Brings back the memories of thinking a 28.8k modem and you were the king...
@@coolmanph yup, that was after they saw how popular it became, and saw that there was a lot of money to be made. Now its a definitive game in said genre, which is pretty awesome!
I played "The Nomad Soul", in early 2000's. It's a game, featuring music from David Bowie. I remember it being 6 CDs, and there wasn't a DVD version (Just like Phantasmagoria). I played the first "Thief" game. I also played "Clive Barker's Undying", which would deserve a remastered version!
so nostalgic started gaming in 1987 with commodore 64 then amiga 500 and after 1994 IBM compatible (as they used to call PC's) since now thanks for taking me back to memory lane!!!
I've played MW fairly well with keyboard and mouse, but only against bots. Not sure how I would do against real people, and honestly I don't care to find out.
@@jtenorj MW5 is fully playable with keyboard and mouse; unlike every MechWarrior game that came before it, I actually CAN'T play it with a flight stick. I don't know if it's the insane aspect ratios we play at these days or what, but the slightest movement results an unmanageable input; I spent 3 days trying to adjust a sweet spot for my old Logitech 3D Extreme Pro to no avail...I just couldn't turn the sensitivity down enough on a 1440p monitor.
I love how even by today's standards, that printer is still fairly good. It really shows that printers just have barely progressed at all in the last 20 years
That takes me back. I remember when Quake 3 and Counter-Strike first came out. I've got a tradition where I'll be a computer magazine every few years, and I have them going back to 1995 (i.e. the first Blackberry). It's fun to take a trip down memory lane
In the year 2000 my parents bought a PC from a small shop that would build the systems themselves, which was unusual at the time I believe. I still remember some of the specs even though I was just 11 years old. Had an AMD K6-2 CPU running at 300mhz and a whopping 64MB of RAM. It was a big upgrade over our previous computer and was actually capable of running games. Came preloaded with a bunch of Shareware versions of popular games at the time. Quake 2 being my favorite.
That was back when AMD had some really good chips that cost like 1/10 of what intel cost. I was building my own system back than so a lot of use would use AMD chips cause they where way cheaper for builds.
California games, Wolf3D, golden axe, the lost vikings, super bubsy. Those are some of the games I grew up on. Then came counter strike 1.6 and Battlefield 1942
The Operative. I first played a demo of the first game on PC. I got to play some more of it on a friend's PS2 but we stopped at the start of the chateau.. I've played NOLF 2 A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way several times on PC. While I liked the first game alright, I think I liked the sequel a lot better. Never played Contract Jack, though. Might have to give it a go.
These Computer Chronicles videos are great! If you do another one you should go old school back to when Gary Kildall was co-hosting. Some of that early 80's hardware was hilarious.
2000 was the year I first built a computer, mostly from Comp USA. Man the games back then we're awesome, I was big into flight sims and would go through a couple joysticks a year.
Love this stuff, I played Mechwarrior, Quake, and Counter strike back when they came out! Well, I didn't really start with CS until maybe 2001 or 2002 but some of my fondest gaming memories come from that time period.
Oh man mech warrior. I will forever remember installing that via floppy (i think, it might have been cd but i really cant remember that part) when I was like 10 years old and then playing online but having no idea what I was doing so asking for help in a public lobby and this guy sent me tons of info on how to play it and then even taught me how to save the info to a floppy. I think it was mechwarrior 3 but it could have been 2. I still have that 3.5" floppy somewhere.
This takes me back, I was a sophomore in high school in 2000 and if memory serves, I was rocking a K6-2 450, 256MB RAM, and a 16MB Voodoo Banshee as my gaming rig. Ah, memories. Also, Thresh was making something like $100k/yr at the height of his pro gaming career. He then went on to found XFire, Raptr, and a bunch of other tech/gaming ventures. He's done very well for himself over the years after moving on from professional gagming.
Mech warrior was cool because you could target different mech body parts to hamper them before closing in or staying back. "You Only Live Once" was a pretty good strategy shooter. Each level had usually 2 ways to accomplish the mission. Very good level design.
Man playing x-com games, the original Diablo, monkey island, Sierra games and missing my old computers was so much fun in the 90s. Albeit they were not full systems I think tinkering with the modem and drooling over the old graphic cards kept my attention. It still has to this day. Look at the industry now…I should have ran with it haha I’ll never forget the endless trips to circuit city and CompUSA
I got that exact release copy of counterstrike in that same year and played over dial-up pretty much every free moment I had. needless to say I do NOT miss 56K
Built my first computer after playing Counter Strike all night at a friend's house in 2001, another friend just brought over a box of parts with no manuals and I eventually figured out my first build through trial and error lol...that computer was so bad looking back, but damn I was having a blast playing CS and Dark Age of Camelot!!!
I had an Epson Stylus Color 900N, which was an earlier revision of that printer (used the same ink carts and all). It was blazing fast and yes it did print excellent photos on glossy photo paper..... when it wasn't clogged. You should do a retro build with period cases. Things weren't as.... refined back then.
The first major PC game (Not Doom or Oregon trail in school) I tried to play was on a HP who knows what that had maybe 20gigs. the game was called G-NOME, and I think it was a robotic warfare kind of game, it was 1998 or so when I first really tried to play it and mess with my computer to make it run well.
Ah the good old days... I played MPBT (Multiplayer Battletech on AOL) Mechwarrior, Unreal Tournament, Starsiege: Tribes. Tribes was the first game I was able to use SLI with 2 voodoo cards. Tribes was one of the first shooter games you could play outside then fly in a window or run in a door of a structure and still play inside without the game first using a cut or loading screen.

They teased it at 2:15, they booted it up at 5:06 but did not talk about it: Command & Conquer Red Alert 2. This game is basically the title that got me into computer gaming in the first place and it is such a good game that I still like to play it in 2021 (and hope for a remaster at some point)
Counter Strike was amazing when it first came out. First trialed it in v1.3 and got serious with it in v1.5. Over the years I sunk ~2000 hours into it as a Valve game, and I have 2 Steam Accounts both with about ~2000 hours on each. I used to often go to my local internet cafe that sponsored the top CS team in the country. Used to play with the guys there, we used to have massive LAN games with lots of players in the cafe which was spread out over 4 floors. I also met my girlfriend at the time playing CS, beautiful and amazing girl from Russia, we met at the same cafe and were together for a few years. Great times.
Boy, this episode is taking me back. The No One Lives Forever game was really good. Well, I enjoyed it. And, yes, I recognized Jeff Lundgren as a reviewer I read in various magazines.
I played No One Lives Forever, and the sequel to it. Very much like 60s spy movies, and TV shows. You really would slip on a bannana peel if you walked over one, and the guards would too. You could sneak around, and sometimes the conversations the guards were having, were funny.
Anyone remember that tv show where they'd et kids run an obstacle course and they would have velcro all over and they'd have to stick as many games to themselves during the course as possible? Freaking loved that as a kid, was my dream to be on that show!
No One Lives Forever is a god damn classic. Sadly it seems like its stuck in copyright hell, so no one can make an HD port, or sequel. Sequel was pretty fun too. One of the reasons I have a retro laptop handy.
Ah. Dreamcast. Played Shenmue I & II on this. Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia to name a few. And I absolutely loved Chu Chu Rocket - Four players simultaneously try to direct as many mice as possible which are running around on the screen to their rockets. The player with the most mice in his rocket wins. Absolute mayhem and fun.
2000 is when i built my first desktop. and i still have it! asus p3v4x board with 1gb pc133 sdram, intel pentium 3 slot 1 866 @1.1ghz, 32mb asus riva tnt2 agp card, 2 quantum fireball hdds (oh the sound!), twin sony 52x/32x/52x burners, samsung 15" tft from july 2001, microsoft intellimouse optical, creative SB towers, and a 1993 ibm model m keyboard. and it is ALL beige...... i played a little quake on it. yes, quake. not quake 3, etc. quake 1. it's soooo good.

They teased it at 2:15, they booted it up at 5:06 but did not talk about it: Command & Conquer Red Alert 2.
This game is basically the title that got me into computer gaming in the first place and it is such a good game that I still like to play it in 2021 (and hope for a remaster at some point)
Oh to go back to the good old days...
Counter Strike was amazing when it first came out. First trialed it in v1.3 and got serious with it in v1.5. Over the years I sunk ~2000 hours into it as a Valve game, and I have 2 Steam Accounts both with about ~2000 hours on each. I used to often go to my local internet cafe that sponsored the top CS team in the country. Used to play with the guys there, we used to have massive LAN games with lots of players in the cafe which was spread out over 4 floors. I also met my girlfriend at the time playing CS, beautiful and amazing girl from Russia, we met at the same cafe and were together for a few years. Great times.
Boy, this episode is taking me back. The No One Lives Forever game was really good. Well, I enjoyed it. And, yes, I recognized Jeff Lundgren as a reviewer I read in various magazines.
I loved playing those old WW2 fighter plane games. Pre-Battlefield
The new hit man is sick I loved it. A bit short but worth if found at a discount.
I played No One Lives Forever, and the sequel to it. Very much like 60s spy movies, and TV shows. You really would slip on a bannana peel if you walked over one, and the guards would too. You could sneak around, and sometimes the conversations the guards were having, were funny.
Dude I love these videos. Keep them up Kyle
Anyone remember that tv show where they'd et kids run an obstacle course and they would have velcro all over and they'd have to stick as many games to themselves during the course as possible? Freaking loved that as a kid, was my dream to be on that show!
What this video really shows is how much groundbreaking stuff happened between 1999 and 2000.
I remember as a kid, getting on the computer when my parents weren't around to play Quake 3. Kid me had a blast playing multiplayer.
Original Unreal Tournament got me into PC gaming back in 1999.
No One Lives Forever is a god damn classic. Sadly it seems like its stuck in copyright hell, so no one can make an HD port, or sequel. Sequel was pretty fun too. One of the reasons I have a retro laptop handy.
If you seek, you may find a community patched version of NOLF 1, 2 and Contract Jack with support for modern operating systems and screen resolutions.
@@jtenorj Indeed! I did delve a bit into those, it'd just be cool to see some official support too, and a NOLF3 someday.
Love you Kyle thank you for getting me through ruff times
Ah. Dreamcast. Played Shenmue I & II on this. Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia to name a few. And I absolutely loved Chu Chu Rocket - Four players simultaneously try to direct as many mice as possible which are running around on the screen to their rockets. The player with the most mice in his rocket wins. Absolute mayhem and fun.
9:14 He just broke the laws of physics.
That EPSON printer segment HAD to be a paid spot.
Naaah Sacrifice paid the big bucks for that blatant shilling.
2000 is when i built my first desktop. and i still have it! asus p3v4x board with 1gb pc133 sdram, intel pentium 3 slot 1 866 @1.1ghz, 32mb asus riva tnt2 agp card, 2 quantum fireball hdds (oh the sound!), twin sony 52x/32x/52x burners, samsung 15" tft from july 2001, microsoft intellimouse optical, creative SB towers, and a 1993 ibm model m keyboard. and it is ALL beige...... i played a little quake on it. yes, quake. not quake 3, etc. quake 1. it's soooo good.
This is amazing it takes me back. I used to watch this show and played these games but now I feel a bit old haha
I am old enough to remember playing these games as new release in 2000
Please do a series of watching these. This was fun!
Wow the original Hitman. I loved that game at the time. I believe I still have a copy sitting in my GoG account, or Steam, or somewhere.
