This reminds me of G-NOME by 7th Level. I sure do miss the gritt and badassness of those older games. A Golden Age of Indie Game Development was the 90s.

Quoting: ElectricPrismThis reminds me of G-NOME by 7th Level. I sure do miss the gritt and badassness of those older games. A Golden Age of Indie Game Development was the 90s.
As someone who was already gaming in the 90s, I have mixed feelings about this "Golden Age" line of thinking.
Mixed feelings because back then developers were constantly re-inventing the wheel what with there being different engines for every single damn game and not all of them ran well. Weird development decisions such as the infamous Voodoo Memory manager used in Ultima VII and VIII which was hell on Earth when you had to configure expanded and extended memory. Let's not forget all of the IRQ conflicts, boy, those were ALWAYS fun.
Later on you had specific editions of games made to run on very specific hardware like the different editions of a couple of MechWarrior games that were made for some very specific video cards at the time.
I think the only thing that makes the 90s a golden age would be the quality of the games themselves in terms of complexity, mechanics, and actual gameplay :)
