Reading through the November issue made me realize just how late I entered PC gaming. It’s true that this is a matter of when I was born, but seldom has the true weight of what i’ve missed out on landed so heavily. I was born a console child alongside the straightforward hardware conventions of Power. Reset, and the A and B buttons. It was accessibility at its best, especially for someone who used to considered a monitor a “computer.”

Summer blockbusters wax and wane, yet we still find solace and questioning in Lawrence of Arabia.

New York Times best-sellers sweep the nation, and still Hugo’s hunchback climbs those lonely towers. For all of today’s glitter, 1 can’t help but think of the gold I have yet to discover, even though computer gaming may not have quite the same established history.

If nothing else, the final issue of Computer Gaming World inspired me to want to dig deeper than I have before and try in earnest to slow down my twitch-happy mouse finger. There’s a substantial portion of strategy to be planned, foreign seas to explore, and mile-high soaring to be done, and I want to try and taste it before I grow old and sore and start distressing how we’ve lost those good old Battlefield 2 days.
