games: then and now - 03-26-06

from: http://gadgets.fosfor.se/gaming-now-and-then/





If someone would have presented a XBOX 360 for me and my friends 20 years ago, I’m pretty sure we probably would have fainted. When you compare similar games from the mid-eighties with today’s top notch video and computer games, the difference in graphics is quite amazing.



Double Dribble vs. NBA Live’06



Karate Champ vs. DOA 4



Tennis vs. Top Spin 2



Bard’s Tale vs. WOW



Rad Racer vs. PGR 3



Ice Hockey vs NHL 2006



10 yard fight vs Madden NFL 06



Punch Out vs Fight Night round 3

its fuckin rediculous to see what we have now. i still can't believe my lil white box is punching out those graphics as in game.

i don't know when to start playing any more. the CGI movie sequences are just the same as the game. it's mad.


If you think a forum is going downhill, you have no-one to blame but yourself.

Sadly some of the old games are still way more fun than the new ones.

such as?


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

actually from the now and old. both of those are still pretty fun to play. it's amazing to look back on them and see how much better they have gotten them to look from the now and from how they used to look back in the days.

I agree mostly, and if not way more fun, they definitely hold their own.

Most of the "new" games there got picturs of cutscenes as opposed ot gameplay.

Although yeah we get it.

I agree with Fr0g though.

Hummmm very educational ...

But I cant see how they should ever be set up in a VS situation because the old and the new each have their ERA ..

And no matter how cool a FPS, it will never be the same as a simular Top or Side Scrolling shooter !! Like Tour of Duty vs Commando or even Frontline
Both games are awsome but since they are toltaly different they can hardly match up to each other ..personaly I'll take the OLD GAMES there just more fun ! and besides every 10 years or so has left us amazed at the difference in graphics and game play ..Hell I remember thinking BATTLEZONE with it's simple wireframe was the BOMB !! and it was compaired to Space Invaders .

Even the Harsh contrast between the 4-Bit Age and the 8-Bit can be AMAZING !! and when we got to 16 Bits WOW !! I remember just eye balling SONIC THE HEDGE HOG for like 15 minutes just tripping on the DEMO !!
And Yeah on some of our newer systems It's just as mindblowing to see where we've come ! lol ..Hell hang out at my place on a game night where we end up going back en forth from Atari 2600 to PSP ! with a nice collective of systems and BITs inbetween !! So just remember Like ART most games Graphics ARE PERFECT for their TIME !

PS Nobody LAUGHS when someone gets hit in Fight Night round 3 because with the new games we loose alot of the humor and care free FEELING that the old games gave us .REMEMBER games used to be an ESCAPE from the real world but now that some games are so close to the real world it takes away from the fun ! and for alittle fun goto turbotanks.com passwords STONE,LOOSER,ROUND..! Graphics are GREAT ! and THanks for posting it in the ARCADE GUYS !!


ALL-ARE-ONE
