“Paintball. My first time playing was in 1988. We all used Splattermaster paintball pistols (10 shots, then reload and change the CO2 cartridge). These were fun games. A true survival game. When you had the chance to capture the flag, you had to find a way to get back to your station fast. It was so fun and exciting, and out in the woods, you never knew what to expect. Then, during the ’90s, companies started making full-auto and large-capacity models so they could sell more paintballs. Not fun anymore.”<\/p>\n
“I haven’t played in over 30 years. It just became a high-capacity shoot-out: no strategy, no stealth tactics, no fun. Maybe if I had never experienced paintball so early in its time, I might think what became of it was good, maybe. I miss the ’80s.”<\/p>\n
