| unna said: Graphics is the single most important factor which distinguishes generations of gaming...in fact the whole fun factor, thrills, story, immersion or whatever present in games of all generations but graphics is the one which describes the words 'natural progression' for games. |
I beg to differ, this generation has changed that perception I believe yes graphics did play a part until this generation but now controls and graphics from now on. Thanks to Nintendo the videogame universe has made a fantastic jump. The jump is a lot further than just watching pretty graphics this generation is like watching the first consoles coming out again.
And I was there :D

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
