The only book I ever read on classic gaming showed me the patterns for succeeding at PacMan. But by that time, I had already spent enough money on the game to pay for the book, and to commission the author write another one.
I have to disagree. I was totally immersed in Half-Life. While everyone else around the house was still tweaking their Quake 2 configs, I was absorbed with the mysteries of the Black Mesa facility.
I loved those games when I played them in 1979 on my TRS-80 Model I (with a cassette player). My uncle ran a computer store and gave me copies of Pyramid Of Doom, Voodoo Castle, and Ghost Town.
We played them for hours, and there were no websites to visit for hints, cheats, or walkthrus. There was nothing more satisfying then dropping a treasure into the treasure area and looking at your score jump.
I still have all of those adventures in a box somewhere.
Back in my day, we had 350 pings to Kali, and we were lucky!
I remember that some players were so obsessed with winning, they would spend their Burger King paycheques at Internet cafes just to get the LPB advantage the T1 provided.

Dave's moving to Retro because he feels that's the direction he needs to go, to stay on top of things in the industry. He did all that was humanly possibly for id, and anyone who doubts his abilities is obviously without a clue. id chose not to include his maps in the q3 release, and he was disappointed. He wanted a greater role in the production of q3, but was satisfied in doing his best in the role he had. His decision is his to make, and everyone's presumptions mean little to him or those around him. He knows what he's doing, and no one can dispute what he's done for gaming. Judging by all the CTF clones out there, I'd say he started quite the revolution in multiplayer networking. Give him the respect he deserves. For those of us who DO know him, we support him completely, and know he's doing the right thing. TikTok
I had the privilege of working with Dean Haglund in Vancouver in Theatresports in the 80s. He has a clever wit, and a sharp nose (oops) for comedy. I would entirely endorse a spin-off of him and the other lone gungeeks.

I was considering buying an electric car, but I couldn't find an extension cord long enough for it to be practical.
