These threads weren't good the first time, and they're certainly not good the fiftieth time. No one wants to see your gay AI generation, poojeet.

You couldnt emulate shit, the japanese games came to consoles first and the ports were terrible, you couldnt play zelda, and all you had was fall out planescape runescape and rts games

Pc was worth playing on back then but not as your sole or primary platform. Times have changed since then, now everything is multiplat and plays better on pc and the new nintendo games suck.

No, only newfags will say otherwise

The quality of games will never be topped yes but the hardware is pretty shit from the early 90s to the late 90s

It was only during the early-mid 2000s when actual millennial kiddos were able to play 90s classics without compatibility issues thanks to more standardized box PCs

PC gaming in the 90s were basically just 5 games.

Starcraft
Diablo II
Red Alert
Ragnarok Online
Neopets

Everything else were on consoles. And those consoles had TONS of exclusives that never made it to PC.

You were an outcast if you didn't own a Nintendo or PS1

You instead had Doom, Simcity, Quake, Command and Conquer, Red Alert, Diablo 1, Warcraft 2, some jank DOS games, Duke Nukem, Commander Keen

Then in the late 90s you had Half Life, Starcraft, Diablo 2 and by turn of the new millennium you had CS, Red Alert 2, Diablo 2 LOD, Brood War, Unreal Tournament and all of those Star Wars games

The late 90s essentially defined and saved 90s PC gaming
