I remember my first computer well… It was an IBM Ambra, with a 25MHz processor, 4MB of RAMand a 220 Megabyte hard drive. There was no sound, no video card, and no CD-ROM. Later, we upgraded to 8MB of RAM for $450, and then added a sound card and CD-ROM “multimediapackage” for about $600.
Now, I use a desktop, laptop and iPhone 6s, iPad (and iPad Mini), PlayStation 3, and a couple of old server PCs (all of which are vastly more powerful than that machine from 1995). Plus, I use several cloud based applications for online storage. They’re all interconnected and used on a regular basis.
Speaking of portable storage, you don’t even have to go as far back as 1995 to see dramatic changes in size and price. Portable flash cards have increased in size by orders of magnitude and have dropped in price by the same. A 128 Gb card today costs around $50, or roughly $0.39 per gig. A card with 128MB capacity cost roughly $30 in 2005… which works out to $234 per gig.
PC Gamez: 1995 StylezFortunately, I also kept (and found) a piece of my gaming history as well: copies of of the May, 1995 PC Gamer (featuring Aliens and X-COM: Terror from the Deep) and July, 1995 Computer Gaming World (featuring MechWarrior 2 and a sneak preview of Duke Nukem 3D).
The most popular games in May of 1995 were Panzer General, Dark Forces, and X-COM: Terror From The Deep. Take a look at the gaming studios associated with the Top 10 – how many remain today? How many of these games did you score from now defunct “warez” sites?
And then, a full page review in PC Gamer for the original Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment. It was rated as an Editor’s Choice (good call), and, “mixes action and strategy in a brew so addictive it should come with a warning label.”.
The requirements for the game were a 386/ 25MHz; CD-ROM drive; 4MB of RAM; 2MB of hard drive space; VGA; and a mouse. But for the best experience, PC Gamer recommended a 486SX/25 MGz with a compatible sound card. Amazing – can you imagine listing a “mouse” or “sound card” as a requirement?
Warcraft would become one of Blizzard’s most successful franchises, followed by sequels, character spin-offs for use in other Blizzard games like Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, and would become the universe and framework for most successful MMO ever, World of Warcraft. The franchise would even boast a full length movie (due out in 2016), titled appropriately, “Warcraft“.
I jumped on the Wacraft bandwagon when Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness was released. At the time, I was still enthralled with Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and Wolfenstein. Speaking of Wolfenstein… the graphics have improved by such a large margin that they are almost incomparable.
