| A203D said: I agree actully, i used to have a SNES and a Megadrive (Genesis) when i was a kid. and Mario and Sonic were good, but i that was it really. games were just a way of passing the time - they wernt a form of 'art' so to speak. then i got a PS1 and i played games like Rayman or Tomb Raider and it was just pushing buttons for fun really, sure it was fun for an hour or two, then i would get bored. ...... then i played a game called Grandia (my first RPG) and everything, everything change. but that was just the beginning, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy defined gaming for me in the PS1 days. and i agree games were never that good, but when FF, MGS, RE and GT came out for the PS1 - gaming became more than pushing buttons - these days gaming is a cultural phenominon and its not slowing down!! i suppose in Europe we were deprived of RPGs in particular, but for the whole of the world i dont think gaming took off until the PS1 days anyway. |
Don't disrespect the 8-bit and 16-bit era's Just because you were to young to comprehend the awesomeness of the time some of the best Games in history were created in both the 8-bit and 16-bit eras.
