Project 365 Day 342: Games Ahoy

With a little extra free time finding its way into our lives between the holiday events, I have taken it upon myself to explore my computer game collection. For a number of years in high school I subscribed to PC Gamer magazine, which came each month with a CD-ROM (remember those?) of game demos that would include a single level or some other limited preview of the potential fun. I probably have a couple of hundred demos that I never got around to back in the late 90's, and perhaps I'll try some them out if I can find a computer old enough to run them (that is not a typo).

Today, I decided to re-load a more recent game, Madden NFL 2005. At five years of age it is showing some gray hairs with its quaint blocky 3D graphics with simple shading and texturing, but the game play was still a lot of fun. Now I just need to practice getting Peyton Manning to hit that hot route when the defense blitzes!
