A Rebellion Learning Discipline: Hive Gaming Community - Best Video Game Memories
It's always the desire to play games that brought me into computers. I didn't have a pc at that time, it's when visiting my uncle's house I started playing games. At that time there was only one game on uncle's computer, now they may not be an interesting game, but at that time it was everything. It's Road Rash, I was on 3rd or 4th standard at that time. While my world was based upon this game, the vibe that game shared stayed even out of the computer screen. Whenever I was riding a bicycle, the world I see around was kind of that pixelated one.
I never questioned the graphics or pixelated appearance of the game at that time, it was top real for me. This game is the reason behind my desire to buy a computer and explore. I tried drift like like in the game int bicycle a lot of times and fell down a lot. Still, whenever I see a turn on the road which could be seen from far, that road rash memories pop up. I've seen a lot of changes in the game, now I'm even ready to criticise it. But inside I still know it rules predominantly a certain part of my childhood.
And that music, it has the whole vibe of the game. You could find that soundtrack here. It's some kind of inspirational music, it gives a certain kind of energy to my boring mood. It's the start of the music which gives the sign that the game has begun, and it ain't the acceleration of the bike, that gives more thrill. It also the music getting more and more high. It's the track that makes us aware that we are going too fast. Still, it's on my computer, but I don't open it that much often. But still, it still has a huge role in my childhood.
It's the limitation of staying only on the road, which led to the next game. 'It didn't have any boundaries', that's the phrase I will use to describe this game, it's also a popular game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Everyone I knew was fallen for the game. It's about me in 6th or 7th standard. Everywhere we go it was the one trending. I still remember playing that in the school's computer lab, whenever the teacher gets out of the lab for run errands we switch to the game.
Each Computer Lab hours were the most celebrated ones. Everyone was eager to get into the lab and play the game. It's not that much possible to play the game when the teacher was around, it takes a two-man effort. One for signalling when the teacher comes and the other plays. I and my friend switched back and forth. It was also some kind of a good part of life.
I still remember byhearting the cheats, there was some kind of a competition between us friends in who knew more cheats. The one who knew now show-offs at the whole game, it was some kind of knowing a magic trick or some kind of supernatural ability. We barely played missions, we were more into exploring the world. At that time it felt like some kind of a place with no boundaries. If I wanted to stuck in some place at that time, it will be this game, San Andreas.
Like everyone else I also easily got a grasp of the map, I knew each route more than I knew in real life. Sometimes the whole game was just about calling the cops, it's the only place where I didn't want to play by the rules. That was the most fun thing about the game, we could do anything illegal and fool around police. That gave the energy for the whole game.
I still remember going to the internet cafe in the afternoon break and giving them our little savings to play San Andreas for half an hour. Everyone was ready to pay for it and there was a small fight between us about who played most and other small things. San Andreas was all about the freedom, but it also came to an end.
A rebellion in San Andreas became someone different in this game, it was more about discipline. It ain't a great game, but it was some kind of a favourite one of the time. Or still if stays in me, It was also the time I started watching spy movies and another hitman movies. The game Hitman was all about keeping an attitude, there wasn't complete freedom in Hitman's world. But the was some kind of beauty to each move which was taken on the game. Each move is technical and precise, it even started inspiring me to become a hitman. Stupid me!
I felt like I was some kind of mastermind at that time, cause the whole game was created in that kind of way. It made one feel disciplined and controlled.
All these games mentioned have a certain story to tell. It was more of a journey. Each game moulded a certain part of my life.
