Got the timeline wrong, should be over 50s.

If you are in your 40s you were probably were a full-on teenager blaring this as hard as your crappy Trust speakers could manage.

Of course that means if you were in your 50s you were in your twenties, so... probably same? Games have been around for a while now.

Unreal forever! Quake sux!

Ahem. Anyone old enough to remember the bitter rivalry between the two camps would most definitely not be upset by people playing games :p

Hey, no hate for Unreal. It made a great screensaver.

Honestly, I'd show you what I mean if Unreal 1 didn't have the worst SEO in recorded history.

Yeah, you try finding screenshots from a game called Unreal when they ended up using that name for the engine that has been dominating all of gaming for a couple of decades. Turns out, really hard.

Try going with Unreal Gold or Unreal 1999 or something like that

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm being slightly facetious. You can get at least some results if you just go "Unreal 1", but it's still remarkably obscure, all things considered. If you search Quake you just get Quake, you know. They didn´t go ahead and call the engine "Quake".

Quake predates Unreal by two years. Quake wins.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Unreal learned from Quake's mistakes and was better for it.

And wasn't nearly as good.

This. I'm 41 and video games have existed literally my entire life.

About to be 53, and we had an Atari when I was a little kid.
