fuck that

16bit animated sprites running left and right on a 2d scrolling screen owns.

When I whinged about the concentration of graphics I was asked "ha youd be happy with text adventures haha"
to which i replied
"yes they had a better plot than half the sequals and clones and other assorted shite churned out by sony"

He didnt know I was friggin serious, I still play 15year old games on emulator, I harldy ever play modern games for longer than a month.(apart from UO and baldurs but their gaming systems are from the 80s).

Still cant believe we get lectures about huge teams producing games when 1 guy in his bedroom in teh 80s could churn out a game thats better than what 20people spend 2 years cretaing today.

Oh forgot that Spectrum gem - Pub Crawl. Nowt better than a text adventure where you go on a pub crawl in Dundee circa 1985 pubs
