Looking at how Microsoft opened up Online Gaming, no I wouldn't be sad. |
You mean Sega with the dreamcast. Hell, I played Bomberman and Quake on my Sega saturn online...its their fault that no one ended up buying it in masses like they did with xbox. They should still get the credit...
Regarding the OP - it would be very hard to adjust. I mean, 8/16 bit era was pure 100% gameplay. Today some games are 30% gameplay and 70% cinematics. The person that woke up in 2009 would probably spend a lot more time on VC, PSN and XBL buying games that playing MGS's, resident evils and gears of war's we get today and call AAA software.

No I mean Microsoft, I'm aware Dreamcast came up with it, I think without Microsoft though, Sony wouldn't be so hard pushed to make online. So where would we be?

While I agree that MS took the idea and made it in to a spectacle that it is today, there were online gaming systems in 1994.

Someone waking up form 1994, who was using these devices will probably wonder why we didnt get more advance than we are now.
I mean MK2 and MK3 were playable online on my sega genesis and snes? Yet the PSP midway classics port doesnt let me play online...SHAME!
