I remember kind of being frustrated that PC would never get a Mario game, and the side scrollers were close approximations but I kind of remember controller lag being a big problem for a long time. Maybe I am mis-remembering but now that they have emulators and know all about frame lag and stuff it makes a lot of sense. You were just never going to get that SMOOTH scrolling, that instantaneous controller feedback, etc. Going back and playing console games on the original equipment, the smoothness of everything is very apparent.

ha, wow, we had ABUSE and I'm sure I played it a lot but that longplay video is triggering no moments of memory, no familiar music or sound effects or anything. you see one minute and you've basically got it. i remember it being ... playable? sooooo gray and ugly-looking.

What about speccy/commodore/st/amiga games, do they count as 'pc games'? That's my only chance of input pre gen 5.
