Go back another 20 years and you’ll find Manic Miner & Horace goes skiing…wait that’s a little early… Donkey Kong Jr & Chopper Command were released in 1982. 80s to 90s probably had the biggest step up, no doubt due to the introduction of consoles.
Yeah theyre a bit before my time but I played a lot on my dad’s hoard. I still remember how excited he was showing off how many colours you could have on screen on donkey Kong country.
Ah the days of 2D gaming in monochrome! Next stop, Checkered Flag on zx spectrum, such wild colours! what? You view from behind the car too?! Woaahh! Totally unplayable now haha!
Im glad they appreciate the differences.
I can clearly see that one is superior to the other, but it doesnt feel like 16 years worth of upgrades. They dont look different enough to me.
Going from Mario Bros. to Unreal within a childhood was a bigger jump!
Yeah seriously. Playing Mario and duck hunt, then jumping up to mario 64 and goldeneye, and then half life 2 a few years later was absolutely wild.
