My Pc use was heavy in the late 80's 90' and early 2000's The PC was always ahead of the console in terms of power games and network. Back inthe 90's it was all about the next big thing I think developers were more creative because they had more to work with.

I remember the voodoo2 chained linked the voodoo 3 the tnt. It was really a great time. there were too many card options though which really required alot of patching. I remember playing madden online years before the console football caught up. Also I think the ugrade
parts weren't as expensive as they are now.

I remember seeing these newer cards for 500.00 plus that really started to turn me off. I believe the console has somehow caught up to the pc. The pc still holds the keyboard and mouse and some independent games.

I think we reached a peak as to what can be displayed and what can be seen by the human eye. There has also been a drop off of developers that experiment for the pc. Alot don't want to risk the loss. For all of crysis hype and power how did it do? I hope it did well but I don't know. I see alot more casual games like diner dash than what was out there.

You know when the xbox came out with its PC spec. I would have bet the farm we would have seen games like system shock 2,The Undying, Vampires,AVP,The star trek games. I just knew stuff would have been ported over with ease. I seen the mafia and thief but I expected a whole lot more.
