If gaming goes back to what it was in the 80s I will stop gaming.

80s games were all based on tv shows, movies, and sports.

 

pong was based on a movie, show or sport?

Pac-man?

Ultima?

Oregon Trail? =P

Gaming in the 80's oh boy if those guys could of seen your line just now in their time, they wouldn't have wasted so much time.

I forget when SimCity was released that was a good game, 2000 ripped it apart.

 

Btw by the time I got to Oregon trail I forgot where I was going with this post and I'm sure like 50 people posted already. Malstrom articles...

 

I've noticed with all things that people seem to hate with him that it's either you love or hate him or your a witness to it. Eitherway it's his blog.

 

Is he right... try applying what he sais to something you'd do in real life as disruption is a universal thing in it's application. You'll find that you need to destroy a particular habit and replace it with a method under the context of disruption, the result will also be clear.

The prof just made one of the most ignorant statements I have ever seen on this site. I could list nearly a dozen games that were not based on any of those off the top of my head.

Mega Man, Final Fight, Double Dragon, Gradius, R-Type, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Phantasy Star, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Famicom Wars, Metal Gear, Ghosts & Goblins, Adventure Island/WonderBoy, Zillion, Metroid, Adventures of Lolo, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Crystalis, Dizzy, Tetris, Guantlet, Paperboy, Q*bert, and so on and so forth.

Did the prof even play games from the 80s?
