You’re either blindly ignoring the past or never actually tried to PC game in the 90’s, but it was NEVER this easy.

Here’s how you PC Games in the 90’s:

Friday after school: go to Fry’s and buy Duke Nukem

Friday Night: Install game. Launch game. Get an error. Call your friend to see if they got the same error (there’s no Google, so online help took effort). Friend didn’t get same error, but they got a different one. Go online to chat room and see if anyone got error. Park there for two hours until someone finally responds

Saturday Morning: get up and and try fix. It works! Game launches. Doesn’t recognize keyboard, no sound, only video. Repeat steps from Friday.

Saturday Night: game works! Now let’s dial up my friend and play. Can’t connect. Try other friend, theirs works. Try original friend, can’t connect. Eat your Pizza Hut Bigfoot while watching X-Files instead and be pissed at money and time you spent.

Sunday evening: Give it one more try before school week starts again. It works (despite not changing a single thing)! Play for one hour before you have to go to bed.

What a successful weekend!
