You have a weird definition of 2D.  If I control a dot, that is 1D.  If I can only move left or right, then that is 1D.  You know what 1D is right?

I bet you don't consider SNES games with parallax scrolling to be 3D, even though the background looks 3D.  In order to be 3D, the whole game has to be 3D.  It's the same on the Atari 2600.  The games aren't really 2D.  They are 1D.

Also, I am curious if you agree with me that the biggest transition in gaming was from Generation 2 to 3.  Are disagreeing with this point, or are you just trying to distract from my main point?

This even tops the nutjob argument that Metroid: Other M is 2D gameplay because Samus is controlled with the d-pad.

Was this an argument you were making?

You have a weird definition of 1D.  And you can't only move left or right, you also can move up and down. Every sprite has an x and an y position. You know what 2D is, right?

Now I know you are trying to distract from my main point, since you keep dodging it.

I will take take this as a "yes" you agree the biggest leap was from Generation 2 to 3.
