[WannabeGT4]

nah bro the colecovision hahahaha, but seriously theres to many games out there made by too many companies and at least 50 percent of them are either alike or crap, To me the best video game developers are nintendo, cause they can make anything into something real good... systems like xbox, to me its like there trying too hard to beaT  sony.... but seriously no game revolutionizes games like mario 1 did cmon...

I thought this was about knowing your roots? Do you know where we'd be without the Magnavox Odyssey? Do you remember the phenomenon we know as PONG? What about Splatterhouse for TurboGrafx16. Both revolutionized video games. PONG introduced kids to video games and believe it or not those kids are responsible for the games we play today. Splatterhouse was one of the most controversial violent game to exist and to be honest, without it I think we'd all be playing the 18th sequel to Strawberry Shortcake from the Atari 2600.

LOL! J/P We all know that's not possible when you own a 6GC! I've had my fair share of video games too. Hell I even worked at a game store for about a year!

Talk about not knowing your roots. Why has there been no mention of the Master System, ColecoVision, Magnavox Odyssey, or the TurboGrafx16?
[right][snapback]300816[/snapback][/right]

Because those systems sucked.

Yeah I read it I was the third to respond, well the TurboGrafx16 (basically a Genisis, same with the MS) wasn't that bad, nor the Master System, but the Calecovision come on, it had Amazing Bumpman and Skiing as hit games. BTW here is a good candidate for the worst roots system: Panasonic CD-i, inovative but terrible.

Anyhow if you know my history you knew i only have the car for 5 months now. And yes i do game a lot less. But that has more the do with the facts thats its summer and less with the fact i have a 6GC

No. If it wasn't for PONG we wouldn't have video games right now. I agree Nintendo sped things up a bit but if they didn't do it someone else would. Sega or Sony perhaps. It was inevitable. Games will continue to advance and evolve. right along with technology.

You spelled towards wrong.

It was just a matter of time before a company introduced a new system. People love new things and nintendo was it. They just filled a void. They didn't start a revolution.

But no one cares about spell checking when it comes to forums, its not like im writing a report or anything..... And yes it was a matter of time before someone would introduce a console, and nintendo was it, nobody seen anything like super mario bro. 1, it was fresh and obviously made a huge impact on game developers influences.... therefore sparking a new generation of games thus revolutionizing.....

LOL you missed the point. It didn't matter who it was that introduced the next system. The foundation that had been laid by Nintendo's predecessors was rock solid. The decline was due to a lack of new systems and games. You can only do so much with old technology.

How do you impact an influece?
You can impact a developer but their influence is all their own.

How do you kinda go bankrupt?
either you are or you aren't.

IMO Nintendo gets so much credit because they invented the backgroud (ok, I know some Atari games had backgrounds, but you usually couldn't tell what they were) Nintendo kind of opened up the gaming market due to the high graphics of it's time, a major step from Atari, kind of like the Playstation from the Genesis. I personally think nothing can really out do a PC as far as power and you can upgrade at will, unlike a console, but also unlike a console it's not hard slapping a few thousand a year doing it, the PC advances faster than the games developed for it. I need an opinion of Dawn of War, I would have bought it but I splurged to much on a flat screen TV.

No, the founation was weak because the atari 2600 was a bust. People were throwing those things away because no one wanted them. You couldn't even pay someone to take it. They rounded up millions of cartridges and blew them up in the desert. I know that sounds dumb, but it's true. The industry was dead until Nintendo and Mario came out. They single-handedly revitalized the industry and made it what it is today. Sega had the Master System, but it only had like 5% market share. I still think the Commodore 64 rules, because it was the first 8-bit computer ever and it came out in the early 80's, long before the NES.

Thats what im trying to say, thanks BlackSTX, ok ok maybe they didnt revolutionize, but what BlackSTX said about revitalizing that market is dead on, thanks to Nintendo games are what they are today, you could sort of say their the godfathers of video games.

and for my grammer, i post after work, and im tired and i work outside in the hot weather, so bare with me
