These are pictures of my kids being "awed" by 16 bit Sega
Genesis....or not so much. Daddy tried to explain that back in the day, this was hi-tech/blow your hair back kinda game-
playin. But as you can see, they weren't buying the line. Looking at his old system this weekend, one can really appreciate how much technology has changed in just a few short years. This
StarTrek game was made in the early 1990's.... compare these graphics to the
DS for example. Our
boyz have one (courtesy of the "Bush" money). To complete the Indiana Jones levels, the player sometimes has to clap their hands, or blow out a torch on screen (by really blowing into a spot on the player). What is even more amazing to me is that the system actually still worked!

It is amazing how older games can still hold people's interests. I am playing through a remake of "Bionic Commando" from the old 8-Bit NES days, and I love it as much now as I did then. What that kind of gaming says is, "Amazing graphics and sound are great and all, but a game needs to be fun first. The rest is just polish." Good on you for keeping the chillins' exposed to the classics. Gaming culture is here to stay, so, might as well understand it.
