    That’s why lol. The random events were tied to your cpu speed, and with faster more modern processors you wouldn’t see nearly as many random events.

      Eh, I doubt it, because it didn’t seem like I was seeing too few. They came at an appropriate clip, and the second game even gives you a car to see fewer of them after the halfway point.

        Your doubt isn’t a factor, it’s just how the game works. Unless both 10 years ago and 1 year ago you replayed them on a computer from the late 90’s, you didn’t get as many random events as were intended. The very fact that you think random events were such a small part of those games also confirms you weren’t getting as many as you were supposed to lol.

          Show me a video of a normal encounter rate from the 90s, and I’ll tell you how my experience compared.
