First One

Ok this is just a really quick post I'm working on a longer one on gaming history and the importance of new gamers knowing where their games came from, but anyways on with this...

I plugged in my new old NES and popped in Techmo Football and very quickly realized why I played this game non-stop over and over and don't play any modern games. It's the dramatic cut scenes that show players diving or just barely making a catch. But more importantly its the half time show in every game (consisting of poorly pixelated cheerleaders wearing very shirt skirts or if you were at the super bowl you got jets and other awesome stuff.)

The half time show is an integral part of any game and even though games claim to be more realistic each year, there is no halftime show cut scene. I can remeber the first time I played a Next Gen football game being terribly dissapointed by the lack of celebrations after touchdowns (fixed a bit in modern games) but especially there was no thought as to the half time show, as if it didn't go on in post playstation years football.

Now I know your saying, "Batman, you are retarded, so what?" But thats pretty much the point, its a little detail thats in a game that can be stored now on the smallest of storage space and run on less and yet it has a detail thats fun that new games, with the insane amounts of stats and stuff don't. I want my halftime show bitches.

Oh, plus Madden way to well rounded. I want invincble Bo Jackson back and Jerry Rice catching any pass that was thrown to him. Screw realism, touchdowns on every play.
