Today's Webtip: Lo Fi Let's Play
Have you ever had to sit through stories told by your parents or grandparents about just how much worse they had it when they were kids? The type that usually involve them having had to walk to school up hill both ways in -30 temperatures and 1m deep snow?
I have. Worse yet, I have found myself telling the same tales. Trying to explain what life with a computer was like back in the 80's usually just leaves my kids bored and less likely to believe anything I say.
But now there is proof! Proof that we were either really stupid, not easily bored or just really easily impressed and desperate to find an excuse for the huge amounts of money someone spent on that computer in the basement.
Take Mystery House for example. It the very first adventure game to include graphics, and was apparently considered a massive success for its time. It also, apparently, sucked.
That was the most recent episode of Leigh Alexander's Lo Fi Let's Play, and it's the first one I watched. It got me hooked and now I am working my way through the earlier episodes. Which you can find here: www.youtube.com
