I think perhaps more so than they do now.

I left exactly for the reasons you described in your post. People aren't fools, they can make the difference beetween a inspired piece and an uninspired one... sometime they can't tell what's going wrong, but they have a weird feeling.<br /><br />All I have to say is that nowaday video game are mostly just commercial 'products' (there's still some gems been produced sometime). The essence of what a good game has been lost, and VERY often, the game designers don't even know what they are doing.<br /><br />It's sad to see that few game developpers know how good some oldschool games were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567207519106782296.post-35663290919696909232009-03-26T13:07:00.000-05:002009-03-26T13:07:00.000-05:00Great post!

Got it for Christmas and I was thrilled, kids these days just can't understand how different this game was! It was an actual adventure, not just a twitchfest. It inspires the imagination through its lofi graphics.<BR/><BR/>Very astute observation on the similarities between Zelda and this game as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567207519106782296.post-76320180897783990242009-03-15T19:02:00.000-05:002009-03-15T19:02:00.000-05:00awesome post!so kool: the similarities you pointed...awesome post!<BR/>so kool: the similarities you pointed out, <BR/>and it was very kool to see the prototype for zelda.
