Anyone here also play Age of Empires and Age of Mythology? Those games were tits too.
And of course, my college days would NOT be complete with Quake and Unreal Tournament.
AoE 2, Age of Mythology I played quickly but meh.
Q3 was my main game when it came out, I got invited to Quakecon but my parents didn't understand the importance of it and they wouldn't pay for me to go to Texas... no surprise.
I considered myself very good at Starcraft...until I got cocky enough to go against someone in Korea.
Boy, did I get a taste of humble kimchi.
Some of those guys make six figures USD playing starcraft.. and that's after the decimal point.

Haha some of that shit too old. The first brand new computer my dad bought was a Pentium 3 500Mhz. It came with Windows ME. Holy fuck that was lame, moving from 98 SE to ME. Dad ended up going back to the store so often over the course of like a year they gave him a Pentium 4 1.5Ghz with XP on it.
Prior to that we had a used HP Pentium 2 400Mhz and damn it was better than the P3. That was pretty much one of my fav computers as a kid.
I rememebr those pentium II's. With the Nintendo cartridge style design

Yep exactly. Little board cart you slide inbetween the two clips.
You're laughing but I had to repair some of these as late as 2010... some people are fin browsing the web with these apparently. Here I am complaining at work because my computer HDD has a 75mb/s throughput instead of the expected at least 125mb/s....

Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, all of the above. fun stuff
I was personally a Protoss fan myself (arbiter recall and cloak yasss)
Loved the occasional zerg fun though, nydus canal full of lurkers and hydralisks behind your base and then switch gears into a Guardians/Devourer's.. hehehe

Do you remember those alternate game modes like hockey?
aren't you speaking the truth about the Koreans.
When the Zerg got nerfed for Brood Wars half my friends didn't know how to play anymore... Fuck that zergling rush anyway.
Hey, in Starcraft 1, it was ALL about surviving the annoying Zergling rush...and most people still had poor counters against it...until they got nerfed in Brood Wars.
The Nydus Canal rush was great too if the game got deeper...start up 2 rushes with Zergling and Hydralisks...then, while the guy is going OMG OMG...casually run an Overlord to someplace in their corner...spawn the Canal and go wheeeeee!

Yeahhh...man did I put in hours of my life into PC gaming in my HS and college days. Got to the point where my GF (at the time) would go topless just to see if I'd pay attention to her while I was in the middle of a game.

Yeah...well, no idea back then when information was not as readily prevalent and fast. When you were locally good and most people you knew online considered you the benchmark, you'd think some nerd in Korea would have nothing on you.
Boy was I ever wrong. I thought I was fast to build up my base? Forget it. And it was like he KNEW every darn trick in the book...and it almost felt like he was cheating and had some code (of course not) to see through my cloud and see what I was up to.

That's when SC wasn't only typing or clicking, but both at the same time. I got my ass whooped quite a few times too, essentially never talked about it.

Tower defense games were fun AS FUCK.. lost hours and hours of my childhood to that shit. loved every minute of it.. hated when the 56K disconnected though...
Yeah, this was also before Youtube and so, I didn't really have anything to study to get a better understanding how to beat them. I just knew their was fast and then, there was Korean-fast. Hory shet.

Ahh yes the dreaded drop players screen.

I rememebr booting people from the waiting room that were red or yellow.

Nah, that was my "edge"...I had all my hot-keys memorized and growing up playing piano (as nutbar as it sounds) kinda helped with my dexterity and coordination. It was easy.
It was what gave me an edge against most people (not from Korea). But, those Kimchi-eaters...?
Q3 was my main game when it came out, I got invited to Quakecon but my parents didn't understand the importance of it and they wouldn't pay for me to go to Texas... no surprise.
But, you could build a Titan in AoM! Once you got one, it was like...Godzilla-time.

Prob macros then, or something similar. Either way, they were and still are good.
