Yeah, I’d actually only ever played VII and VIII before recently.

Oldest this year.

Yeah, Myst was definitely something else when it came out
Yeah, playing Resident Evil for the first time was something incredibly atmospheric and special. I rented it from Blockbuster and knew straight away I had to buy it.

Yeah, I very nearly added seeing the Mortal Kombat arcade to my original post but decided maybe I was writing too much!

Games will continue getting ever more impressive, but nobody again will witness the kind of seismic leaps in what games could accomplish that people saw between the 70s and 2000s.
