Do you know somewhere I can still get good 4 player local games?
1998. Still working on the time machine, though.

Oh, my second PS1 game was Hot Wheels Turbo Racing. The first choice you had when loading it was, more or less:How could you even sell a console without having a memory card?
Wii U eShop or "alternatives"?Do you know somewhere I can still get good 4 player local games?
Of course. Hence the "believe it or not". :-)Debatable.
People take it for granted that games should last for tens to hundreds of hours, have complex plot and advanced graphics.
Those are the main things that changed between back then and now.
And then people hate on anything 2D or retro looking as being lazy or trying to appeal to nostalgia. Pixelart can be visually appealing but some people don't seem to understand that.
Did you have much trouble with video standard before?HDMI
Generally speaking I think they were mainly referring to the way old consoles all used their own connectors on the console itself. Besides the NES, Nintendo basically kept the same "rectangle with a line on top" connector for their consoles from SNES->GC years, and Sony used their own proprietary AV thing on the PS1-PS3, Microsoft had the fatty one for the OG Xbox and 360. They never used just one standardized port on their consoles, whereas now everything just uses HDMI so you don't need to constantly swap video cables between consoles.Did you have much trouble with video standard before?
Most things I met were RF or component/scart. All things available on most TVs I had, and if not that then the video player underneath it usually managed.
I remember getting shocked from scart plugs when I was a kid. Never had an issue with hdmi/vga.Most things I met were RF or component/scart. All things available on most TVs I had, and if not that then the video player underneath it usually managed.
It's already been mentioned, but I also feel like some people kinda forget that a lot of NES games had password systems in place instead of saves. Sure, there were a fair few games you actually had to leave on 24/7 to continue playing where you left off, but there were hundreds of games that just used a password after you beat each level if you wanted to continue later.How about the ability to save in games at all? Many adults I know remember when the original NES came out and their biggest upset was that there was no ability to save where they were without having to leave the console on 24/7.

The problem is that most developers fail to have a general knowledge of the color or sprite limitations that old systems like the SNES and Sega Genesis used. An uncomfortable number of developers seem content to draw an 8x8 sprite then blow said sprite up to four times its normal size, even taking into account the supposed base resolution the game is supposed to be running at.People take it for granted that games should last for tens to hundreds of hours, have complex plot and advanced graphics.

I mean, there is Sonic 3's save function, but 1 and 2 didn't have that, so yeah. While the SNES was a great system, SNES elitists just annoy the shit out of me, especially considering I was more of a SEGA kid anyways. Don't dwell on it too much, your system had the better mascot platformer series, imo.i remember as a kid many moons ago if i was home during the weekend, i would need to start Sonic on my Sega Mega drive from start every single time....... my friend brought SNES i brought Mega drive, to this day he still takes the piss out of me for this the bastard.
