EL405: "Your head a splode"
This was a strange little diversion. I enjoyed watching the brief contrast between games of yesteryear and games of today, though the spoofs contained in this video clip certainly didn't do either much justice.
I think it's important to note that while there have been drastic changes to games' graphics over the years, some of the most successful types of games are little or no different in theory and concept from those that were created twenty years ago. Take for instance, the success of platform-jumper-style games like Mario, or the success of hack-'n-slash, level-grinding RPGs like some entries from the Final Fantasy series. The graphics have improved, but the core gameplay remains largely the same in certain areas. What's good will always be good--at least in gaming, I suppose.
