The other day when I was browsing YouTube, I came across this...
It's an interesting little look at how gaming was perceived back in 1988, how the standards for success were different back then, and just generally nostalgic for those of us who were gamers back then. Enjoy.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
This was on another thread, I can't remember which though...Well, carry on...
I shouldn't be surprised. All of the good videos get linked here by others first, and I never seem to find them before I post them... Ah well...
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
Sorry O' Wise Squirrel, my computer for some reason is unable to view the video.
But what I can say is... it happens all of the time. One post I made somebody jumped down my throat because they had done the same post. Oh well. There are so many post everyday that people need to calm down.
PS I'm not saying that SMG was being mean.
Good video, funny how things can change in 20 years, in those days everyone thought games were for only little kids or adults with too much time on their hands, then you go forward a few years SNES was for "kids" still and Genesis was there to jump on that and say how "rad" their system was and during this time was the first spots of where "video games cause violence" with Mortal Kombat and then the rating system went into effect, then few years later video games were blamed on school shootings cause parents didn't have anything else to blame but things like Doom at the time, time passed by Sony became market leader trying to be "a system not for little kids" basically the same thing genesis claimed but it worked this time around and video games get the image of teenagers and immature people playing them and more politicians blaming games for violence, then you come to today where Nintendo is back no longer called a kids system but one for everyone and you got the old soccer moms playing it and everyone now knows who Mario is, being an old gamer myself its funny how things come full circle, but the bottom line for all the years of gaming whatever is memorable is usually fun and the fun you had playing with friends, cheers!

Is that Bill O'Reilly from 1988? Why am I not surprised that he had trouble with Lincoln Logs... ;)
