Hmm, well pc gaming is a state of mind. It feels completely different from console gaming. Dont get me wrong I love both pc and console gaming, I couldnt do without either one of em, but pc gaming... You wouldnt believe the sheer amount of memories I have of playing pc games, my snes was great, but the hours I've spent playing stuff like Leisure Suit Larry, Dune 2, Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Alone in the Dark, Maniac Mansion and the Day of the Tentacle sequel, etc. Incredible.
I don't know if I can say this, but those early pc games were really pure. Built for a dying breed of gamers, well maybe not dying, but one that is outnumbered by the Need for Speed Underground playing, MTV sort of populace. (yeah cliche I know, but there's truth in it)
Call me crazy, but those Sam n Max and Full throttle sequels got canned for a reason. And how else would you explain EA becoming so succesfull with the crap they're churning out.
Anyway, my point is, that I cant put the essence of pc gaming (and especially the "early days") into words, so take my word for it and pick up Grim Fandango or Fallout so that you can have the point illustrated.
