Approximately such a dialogue could be heard in every apartment where there were children from nine to thirteen years old, or even teenagers from fourteen to eighteen years old. Young man, but usually
The boys went to these institutions, as the girls were a rarity there, packed his grandmother’s pension, lamented his mother tearfully or just saved it on dinners, but when he received
his money, then he walked. He walked very swiftly and usually he walked with his company. Let there be a company of three or four people, including it. They go to a computer club,
They ask about free computers, sit down and play on a local network, and if his friends did not have money, then they played some game where the host regime was present.
Well, enough descriptions and narratives, you understand what it will be discussed in this article. Everyone remembers these very computer clubs where a crowd of schoolchildren was breaking, but at first it is better to tell a small story of these very computer clubs.
At the end of the nineties – beginning of the two thousandth, computers at school began to be used not only in order to write in Basic “10 Print“ Hello World ”, but also for games. Games were brought on floppy discets, on CD, if the cars at the school had CD-ROM, otherwise it happened and was not at all.
Teachers, if they noticed that the children are distracted by toys, then immediately hesitated this business: they put the deuce in the magazine, and then they deleted the game from the computer. And some people began to understand that these same schoolchildren who want to play and play can earn money.
It is necessary to make the room where people will come, usually school age, play, and ask for money for this. The hour of playing at the computer let it be twenty rubles, and we will put cars five or six. To begin with, it will go.
Many people came to play, even despite the fact that the conditions of the computer club themselves left much to be desired: dirt, dampness and constant stink. But not to say that it was like this everywhere, but usually computer clubs were placed in places,
where there used to be kindergartens or some "abandonment". Children master such classic games as “Counter-Strike”, “Half-Life”, “Unreal”, “Quake” and others.
In the middle of the two thousandth, business gradually begins to curl up, since any family can take a computer on credit. But it’s bored of playing one thing, so computer clubs do not disappear. Yes, local networks began to appear that could
also supply Internet services, but not all of it did it. And if they did, then the speed of the modem in those days was very small, so it is clear that then everyone was not up to the games. Because Internet is for Porn. But we were distracted by something. Children still came,
But some people have already burned out on this, since institutions, where there were only three or four cars, no one needed, and their computers were far from the topova configuration. New games come out, but people still continue to play CS, HL and other hits. Do not forget also that at that time GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas came out.
Yes, yes, they also played a lot of games. But not too long, since the conservations in the game can be arranged only a few pieces, and if some Vasya Pupkin comes and begins to go through the game again, then he will certainly trample the nibdu. Such things.
2007-2009. Our computer clubs are curled up because it is no longer necessary. Each second family has a computer and the Internet, so there is no need for this.
And now there are these very computer clubs, but they are already called Internet cafe, where they pay quite expensive for it. But think for yourself: every third one has a smartphone or tablet now, and if he wants to sit on the Internet, then he can calmly come to some cafe where he will be given to calmly sit from his gadget on the Internet. Even for free.
What is the purpose of my article? Just nostalgia. There were a lot of ridiculous, strange, funny cases: from the fact that the mother of one schoolboy burst into the club, found her son and, with all, scolded him for bad grades to the fact that people stole mice or keyboard until the administrator sees it.
P.S: And what memories have remained from those very times? What did you play? Leave everything in the comments.
(Yes, this is my first post, you can beat with slippers).
The best comments
We had rooms divided in one game. We sat down with teams, and chopped into something multiplayer. And shouted through the whole club. I especially liked to skip school, and come in the morning. There is no one, it’s also twice cheaper. This is indescribable.
Very, very many years old 10 years ago. Mostly dragged with the brothers (and there were as much as 3 pieces). Everyone played “Worms”, and I am very, very good for me so from NFS. They played several times in the Constitutional Court, the brothers drove along the "truckers".
Then it somehow went. The first Peck appeared at home, followed by the second, and there they went to the club very, very rarely, solely, so that Il Dota to play in the battle.
The last time in the computers I went about three years ago in order to cut into the second battle with the guy on the grid. Also, with the company, which consisted of two brother and a couple of their roots.
Well, now there is already a couple of Internet cafes, where you can already come purely on the fan, and even then, somehow there is no desire. Those with whom the computers were in the computers earlier are now all busy, so we enjoy the health multiplayer sitting at home and drinking home tea with homemade cakes.
And it’s a pity, then it was more fun when you scoop through the whole hall “Pick me on the turntable, I took it off” or there “He called the shelling here, blow to the base”. And then, after such a good part, when no one was bombing, and everyone caught the fan from the party – both those who lost and those who won. Then, with the whole crowd, they moved somewhere in a pizzeria or fast food and excitedly discussed the past match.
Although not, it’s not a pity. It’s just that then there was its own “chip” in this, but now there is no such.
I recall such clubs, then Agentspinscasino.co.uk/ for the first time I saw the first and third resident (there was a pity of the second), then I was very much drawn to the horror, and then I frightened Nemes, it was not used to it, I really didn’t get used to managing in the pada, I was confused in shifts … I also thought out, it was dwelling, it was dwelling in the two. I remember inogla teenagers hung on those who are sitting, different signs on their backs. But then in that club the first Sonya changed to computers, and in the four we chopped off to the Buttlfront, and we (I and the liter) always took out two other friends. I remember on the map hot, I am sitting on AT-AT, and so to the bunker, taking all the points of course, and start shooting inside, and thereby stuff a bunch of fragments. A liter runs there, and flies out right away. Runns, flies out. And my AT-At-did not fall because my friends did not know how to use harpoon. Although we told them that it should be used the whole game. Of course, on other cards, we also carried them out. I also recall when I was in Sochi, there were arcade machines there, and there was Sonic and Knakles, the children of my age could not go the first level for Sonic, and I, already playing a time on the segment, ran up to the desert for Knakles, but the vehicle time went out, and I was in a fan of fading money to lay down the money to lay down the money. Because next to him was a machine with The House of the Dead, which teenagers chopped into. And then I just continued to watch how they play. And I myself wanted to play it myself, but I was afraid that it would not work. But then having played in Sonic and Nakles, and continuing to see how children cannot go through the first level, I first felt superior before the noobs.
I have warm memories from my trouble -free childhood associated with computer clubs. I remember how my mother brought it the first time and found out the prices of t.To. A girlfriend with her son was supposed to come to her, and she wanted to "fuse" somewhere ".I was not yet familiar with the computer (it was like 2000-01 and I had only a sega at home), and I looked at what was happening with a deep interest. But for some circumstances, everything fell off and they didn’t put me anywhere. I came another day, paid for an hour and the first game on the computer I had “Reisers Against the GAI” (Midtown Madness, if you want). And these were not transmitted sensations for a child at 6-7 years old.
At that time, I remember, people played in CS 1.5, GTA III, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Half-Life, Spider-Man (with PS1). It was scary for me to play these games, because they seemed very difficult for me to assimilate, and I continued to play this "race".Then, like that, I still tried to play "Contri" and "Halva".I didn’t really like it at that time.“What? I also need to buy a set? Oh, Ivo!"I thought, and, not without pleasure, I launched Half-Life, where the mechanics were simpler.Friends and acquaintances began to catch up in the clubs, and we searched with the whole crowd on the vacuum cleaner map.
Following, I somehow joined the GTA III (“I can ride on all the cars”), well, the legendary Vice City came out, which, at that time, did not differ from GTA III, but “virtaccles were soldered there there. Nishtyayayak!"And with her appeared people who stood next to you when you played, and offered you help in the form of" codes for Zizka and so that the car floated on water ".
Also, I was primed to such games as The Simpsons: Hit and Run, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Star Wars: Battlefront (after which, in one of my life, I was a wild fan of these same wars), Re-Volt and other spiritual games). And in order to play one of them, I began to score everything in the house: washed the dishes, the floor, wiped all the shelves – did everything so that they were given the unfortunate 20 rubles, which turned 1 hour of my life into a small travel to Tatuin or Vais City.
I am grateful to the author of this blog for this long -forgotten topic that made me feel again, all those bright years that have long passed.Thank you!
Was only twice. Then a friend tried to introduce me to this matter. The first time we played in KS 1.6 naturally.The second time, when I came and sat down to play Weiss City, the computer was safely hung and I began to ask for help from the older guys who, in turn, had seized me together. And when, when looking behind the hall, he paid attention to me and said they said, “not what you are staggering here, you are playing – Vali,” well, and they crossed me, and because of my timidity I could not say anything, the clubs ended for me.
Wot so wat.
(and by the way, when you create a post, be sure to leave the first comment so that the post is broadcast)
In the computer. I never walked clubs, but my brother and I looked in the cargo cellars. Bandikuts were cut into Crash’s races ^_ ^
Dad drove me to the computer. Clubs from 4. I remember how I played a serious Sam and yelled at the whole hall when crowds of enemies stepped on me)
In the south, comp.there were no clubs, for some reason there were pounds. When parents and friends rested in a cafe, I sat there until 2 a.m. The leadership knew me in person)
We didn’t have this in the wilderness (in any case, there was one house in my childhood, where segi and the first curves stood, the curves were more expensive, so it cut exclusively in the Segu, and only in the third MK (I am not sure that there was something else there). I remember well that all the boys clicked their tongues, and quite smalled if they managed to make brutalii. This was considered unspoken wine, you were respected for Brutali (only not for Jax and Nub Saibot, because XXXBAXXXBAX and XCABCZABCZ could even do a one -year -old child. I had to re-read in the evenings a large book of codes and passages, which was then sold for every old woman-pronoun, and memorize all brutali.
Not particularly positive emotions from these establishments. Constantly someone stands behind, looks, comments. It was always better at home, albeit without friends.
I remember in that game club, it was possible to change the games on the seg. I also remember that my mother’s daughter worked in a store where the discs were sold, and she let us play the day of the quadridge on the segu, some we then bought. Then we had a computer, and she gave us discs, and then there was a freebie, because it was just possible to install the game on the computer, but it was sad when the games were demanded, sometimes I forgot the second disc from the drive to pull out, and when I returned the game, I had to quickly run home, and then back. So for the first time I met Silent, then I am damn fanatel for horror (and now fanate). It was the fourth silence, and then he was very sunk into my soul. And then I wanted to play the rest of the games of the series, and my joy had no bounds when a friend had a second part. And then they were without sound in the screensavers, and with a bug with a piano at the end. Another friend was already telling me about how he played the first silent Hill, and then I was upset that he went to PS1, but I did not have it, and that game club was already closed. And there was no opportunity to play it. And then I had only a fourth part. And she was the only part that I passed, but there was no sorry for the final screensaver there. I also read my friend normally about other silents in the gaming magazine, and I more and more wanted to play the rest. And sometimes although to the store, I saw a third part for the second curling, and I was sad that I have no second curling iron. Then I bought an anthology from 1-4, and even then I was able to play the first and third parts. The first part was in English, and the emulator was built into it, and he worked through the ass. And in the third part there was no voice acting in the screensavers (it was only in CG rollers), but this did not prevent me from passing them. And after I found out about torrents, I began to download the silents, at first these were pirate images, and CG rollers were either cut out on them, but they could go to the end, or the same unlucky bugs. But then I just downloaded the English license, and put normal Rusiks, and also downloaded a normally translated first part to emuls.
I remember how I met for the first time with the computers, especially with the Internet, then I was not friends. We often hung with a friend there, eight computers, never empty, sometimes I had to wait for an hour. But what a pleasure to cut into the Angel Arena, or in the Constitutional Court, but the top was to play in Half – Life: Deathmatch. I had to wait until at least a couple of acquaintances came, and it began … The most important rule, which was voiced loudly and several times, is to play without a vacuum cleaner. But slowly, the Internet penetrated into all houses, computers broke, and so we bent "computers"
Rarely I looked into these places. The constant offset concentration of hanging out orcs did not make a stay in such clubs comfortable. Huge lines and megazadrots, sitting frantic grandmas day after day, did not add comfort. Yes, and the loot was sorry, especially since it was quite difficult to get it, and if there was a house of a full -fledged PC, it was much more profitable to take a disk with a game or even a whole collection in the rental, rolling his image on a blank and changing, including with the owner of the club, especially since he, a generous soul, changed without problems at a tariff 1 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5.
Ha, and I had a different dialogue forever.
-mothers, give 20 rubles for computers.
-And what is not played at home?
-NUU MAM, we can play on the network!
I never played in computer clubs. We always played there in CS or in Warcraft 3. Both games seemed terribly dull to me and did not arouse interest.
But even before that there was a place where they were given to play on an unprecedented miracle of equipment called Sony Play Station. Here I first met with civilization. I played a little in Tekken, which I did not like, although I was the most popular game in the club on the plain with Crash Bandicoot. I played a lot in Jackie Chan Stuntmaster. But the main achievement and at the same time Epic Fale was associated with the game Action Man. I went through it all, but accidentally discouraged the final screensaver. Hmm ..
So usually teachers knew all clubs in the district and arranged raids for truants, some had the opportunity to dump through the window or back, but usually everything ended with a call to parents.
Was also 2 times. The first – dad took me to a computer club near the house, it was the beginning of the zero, then I naturally did not have a computer. I played, I myself do not know what, on some cool, by the standards, jester. Drove in boats, shot at the Chinese. For the second time, I went with friends to play the VICE CITY WITH WITH MADS for Russian cars – eh, what times!
And now, my friend is rushing all overnight in the club, but I refuse, because I will fall asleep on a chair anyway: 3
In general, yes, there was a time when they gathered with the people on Sundays at 9 a.m. at the Club and sat on Dota in Dota on the Lochee.
Druigan for two years instead of the school passed on computers to swing his elf up to 80 lvl in L2.
And recently, they crawled into the club for a couple of hours and chopped it in a toe, from which I don’t even remember the name, but it was cool! The current shkolot does not understand: 3
It was in such a club that I got acquainted with such games as HL, CS (the version was 1.5), Empire Earth (with which we then leaned, because with straight hands, we could run to the opponent’s base and on the tanks, while he still had archers and cavalry), dragged the second Quake on the grid. Even if there is a computer at home (on which, by the way, the first Blood and the revival of Erafia were intensely lifted up), I still staggered through these clubs, which we had four in the city (we checked one of them in full when they became older, because we were unreasonably traded beer and sausages in the test. Oh, how nice it was to hang there with friends for the whole night). The budget of parents did not suffer much because they saved as mentioned above on dinners. And why have lunch if the school is still on this day Spent Walks.
