I am 37 yo, and an original Wolfenstein 3d player back when it came out and impressed the world with the then new, first person shooter styling. I remember reading in gaming magazines WHAT they were going to call these style games, since at the time all we had were role playing, simulators, and Ultima, overhead perspective type games.
I was so impressed with RTCW that I built a new computer system to fully take advantage of this game, and in the matter of a few months, set up 5 gaming-only computers on my home network so we can have small LAN parties, with the luxury of not having to haul your computer to my house. It's fun. Took several "junk" computers ranging from 400 mhz PII's to 733 PIII's, put GF 2's in them and a NIC card in ea, and we have a great set up. Even the PII computer runs better graphics than new HP computers running processors 4 times its speed, and will run games like SOF2 that require 450mhz or above to run, very well.
I think all this stems from not having any cool toys when I was younger, so I have to make up for it now.
See you at the BEACH!
