How did the PC take over the games market in your part of the world?
I remember the strategy games and flight sims were the first ones to go PC at the end of '89. PC were still pretty low spec, but their add in cards and hard drives were quite cheap.
'94... Although the Amiga software has dried up, the add-ons/upgrades are actually affordable. The CD-Rom enters the picture.
The 486 is the system of choice for gamers. There is Simcity 2000, Civilization and Warcraft.
'96... The internet enters the picture. The PC doesn't have total domination, but it's getting there. Age of empires and Myst were the hot games.
'98... PCs are dirt cheap 2nd hand and so are peripherals and upgrades. First person shooters are dislodging driving sims from the top spot.
'01 and on... The decade of crappy sequels. That's weird huh, how many sequels turned out bad. They must have lost touch or flat out ignored the fans.
That's my experience from Sydney Australia. I'm gauging it from friends and relatives.
