One of the things I miss...
« on: June 16, 2016, 01:45:42 PM »
I read constantly on this forum the opinion that nothing's ever really changed in Aces High in, say, the last ten years. I was just thinking the other day that when I started playing this game this time of year used to bring with it the unique phenomenon of the squeakers. Can't for the life of me remember encountering a single squeeker for several years now. Are they an endangered species or officially extinct? Worrying isn't it?

They can play a more action packed game for free. I don't blame them for not being here.

I thought artificial estrogen in the national water supply took the fight out of sqweeking little boys and made them play my little pony games.

That's really all there is to it.  Paying anything at all is a powerful demotivator when there's a free alternative.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Consoles have also had an impact.

My kids play several different games, funny thing is that one of their favorites is space station 13, a very early styled 2D type game, our PlayStation 4 sees alot of action also fallout 4, overwatch, seem to be the favs now. First person shooters were all the rage a while back, with the C.O.D. and Halo versions coming to mind. The youngest likes to revisit Roblox and Runescape from time to time. One time pay or free seems to be the norm, nowdays, at least for squeakers.
