The more complicated environments of fifteen or twenty years ago? Again, there’s GOG.com, plus (if the game you’re looking for is popular) probably dozens of mods to improve the experience.
Text adventures? The Interactive Fiction Database has you covered. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the PC community, most of that forty years is immediately accessible to you. The PC’s gaming heritage stretches back something like forty years at this point. (Unless you’re one of those people who’s preternaturally paranoid that Valve’s Steam will fold and take your games down, too. Oh yeah, and once you own a game on the PC you own it forever. These span genres, from shooters ( Unreal Tournament, Quake Champions) to RPGs ( Tyranny, Mount & Blade II) to…I don’t even know ( Duskers, Factorio). There are hundreds of games each year that make a name for themselves on PCs and never make it onto consoles. It’s not all plodding strategy games though. I think these incremental box upgrades are the new norm. Stagger them and you’ll end up spending the same or less than if you bought a new console every three or four years.Īgain, I’m not sure whether we’ll see another iteration of the PS4/Xbox One in a few years. You could easily stick to a budget build with as-needed upgrades and be totally fine for a long, long time, especially if your goal is only to stay ahead of consoles. Case? RAM? Power supply? Fans? Hard drives? All surprisingly cheap stuff you’ll carry in perpetuity, build to build, replacing only when absolutely necessary. If you’re a budget gamer, you can probably run the same processor for up to six years, and the same graphics card for four to five years.

The PC is admittedly more expensive up front, but your upgrade path later is markedly easier. You can’t just plop Microsoft’s powerful new Scorpio processor into your Xbox One. You throw your old PS4 on Craigslist and buy a new one. You don’t crack open the PlayStation 4, shove a new GPU in it, then fire it back up.
