Super Nintendo came out when I was barely getting into elementary. The Playstation dominated through my late elementary years and well into my middle school life. Just finishing up my middle school career, the Gameboy Pocket and Gameboy Color took delight in many of our eyes, including Poke'mon cards as well.
Final Fantasy VII and VIII were making a huge success in the Americas during my middle school days.
By the time I reached high school, the Sega Dreamcast had been released already, and the Playstation 2's release dug a grave for Sega's end. During sophomore year, the Xbox was released, and Microsoft entered the market with addictive games like the long awaited Halo... Starcraft was still popular, and the Zero Clutter maps were making a huge step past typical Fastest Possible Maps in TVB games, which made triggered the release of a Blizzard developed TVB version in the waiting room.. however did not change the classic TVB gameplay achieved with melee settings.
The year of my high school graduation, the Radeon X800 Pro was released, it's price tag, $399 at retail street price. The 9800 Pro was still an expensive card, and the 9600 Pro was considered a gaming card. Anyone who had the Geforce 5600 Ultra considered themselves dominant players in Lineage II. The Geforce +5700 non-LE was the Geforce card gamers wanted if they were nVidia fans, but the release of the Geforce 6000 series launched the same year. PCI-e was born in the graphics arena.
at the rate at which school is moving, I will guarantee that if I ever get a handheld device, it will never be for video games, a cell phone is good enough, I downloaded tetris and that's about the closest I'll ever be to the Nintendo DS as of today. I loved the RPG's, but really, you can't expect someone my age to relive the legends, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 3 on the Snes and games like Secret of Evermore? I'd be living backwards if I wanted to find out what the sequels of the best RPG's were like.
What high school class am I?
