>>12596962Boomers played Pong, Space Invaders, and Pac-Man, if they played anything at all.
>>12596962I see zoomers complain about windows compatibility with older games and it pisses me off. Most of the time it is just a ddraw issue, and if it isn't you can just check a box or use a VM. >>12596963boomers played golf sims
>>12596963this. also this board attracts the most "do boomers really"/"do zoomers really" generational shitflinging than any other board
>>12596974>boomers played golf simsMy grandpa (greatest generation) played a lot of golf and flight sims on the C64.
>>12596963My mother, a true baby boomer, still plays video games in her mid 70s. She's played more games than OP has.
>>12596962Only the illiterate
>>12596962imagine what you might be willing to do to play a videogame in an entirely new dimension. I know I've put up with a lot of annoying shit in vr.
>>12596962>boomers out of nowhereboomer derangement syndrome
>>12597214/threadOP can be banned now.
>>12596962>boomersmy dad is boomer, born the 1950s. he never played FPS shootans.i played Quake 1 on shitty school Win95 PCs at 480p. that was pretty normal back in the 1990s.
If you render fullscreen at twice the resolution most were playing at, that's the results you should expect.Those settings exist for a reason...
>>12597907480p isnt that bad. I only had a 100Mhz Pentium with a s3 Trio64 that ran Q1 "playable" at 320x200
>>12596963My Boomer dad peaked at Quake, Diddy Kong Racing and Half-life actually.
>>12596962Nobody actually played Quake or Doom at a resolution higher than 320x200 until the Voodoo 1 came out. And playing 360x480 or even crazier 640x480 on a Voodoo 1 had compromises like half the visual effects just not working at all and the entire video output being dithered like a Saturn or PS1 game.Until the Voodoo 1 you just kind of had to put up with your WinDOS computer being worse at true 3D than any of the fifth-gen consoles, and prior to decent 2D graphics cards in 1992, you had to put up with it being ass at sprite-scrolling, resolution, and simultaneous colors compared to consoles and Amiga.
>>12597932cope
>>12597932And no one used that shitty VGA chip he used in the video that bottlenecks the frames.
>>12597932> until the Voodoo 1Literally looked worse than 320x240. I never understood why people thought Vaseline smears looked good.
>>12596962There's probably <5% of boomers that play video games.
>>12598321Texture filtering and AA were seen as super modern and high tech back then, separating these new 3D games from the old "pixelated" games.
