"How many of you remember when *THE INDUSTRY* was good?"
I remember seeing this.
And not thinking bad things.

I think I finally figured out why gaming was so great then. Everything was new! When you played something from that era chances were you never seen anything like it before and even the equals brought something new to the table.
Yeah back when EA was good there were a buttload of crappy little companies putting out tons of garbage.

The logo is a square, circle, and triangle. EA couldn't go by Electronic Arts in the UK originally, because a company already existed with the name there, so they came up with EOA based on their logo. Thus, the O doesn't actually stand for anything.I still have a few C-64 games with packaging that said EOA, but can't remember what the middle initial stood for, do you?
The industry as a whole was never good. The industry always churned out more crap than classics. I remember when gamers used to be a little more savvy about which games they bought. It used to be pretty hard to weed out the good games from the bad, you had to wait for the latest issue of a couple of gaming magazines and hope the reviews were accurate. Now every game is reviewed in 100 different places the day it goes on sale. There's no longer any excuse for buying shit. Anyone that buys a game that sucks can't blame the industry for making crap, they need to blame themselves for buying crap. Spend the money on the good games, use a couple of brain cells to avoid the bad ones and there isn't any problem.
Loved Bard's Tale...
Have very frustrating memories of Mail Order Monsters and Archon II: Adept on the Atari computer we had. Of course, I was like 6 or so, when we got those games.
Problem is there are times that some games are pretty good if you don't expect too much but the reviewers are very harsh toward it.
