I makes me wonder though, soon how long will it take to make something that can push technology? I think the characters in the FF movie hand like 10,000 pores or individual strands of hair or something like that, and were considering them as "digital actors" as I imagine the amount of time it takes to create these types of models is insane. There are things that "push technology." Some animated movies (Pixar-type 3d movies) take hours just to render one frame. Just imagine how long it takes to make a complete movie, including editing and recreating scenes because they weren't good enough or whatever. [e] Also, my first computer was 200 mHz Pentium 1 processor (fuck yea) with 3 gigs of HD memory. Came with a floppy drive AND a CD drive, too. | ||

Fun times. Oh and my favorite old game was one that came with a box of Check called Chex Quest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chex_Quest ). Sexy fucking game it was too. Omg, I remember playing Need for Speed 2 a lot. For some reason, the colors always loaded wrong on the computer. The sky would be green and the middle of the track would be purple. I knew it was wrong because one in a while the game would tease you by loading the right colors. But I didn't mind it at all, Need for Speed was fun. | ||

It is perhaps comparable to a Nintendo DS? But I think the Nintendo DS processor gets help from a graphics chip for 3D stuff. Quite a few old 3d games look horrible with the perspective we have today. Particularly FPS games. Quake's graphics, however, are clear and enjoyable. It reminds me of SC and BW. When designers create graphics in order to serve the gameplay, the graphics always stand the test of time. | ||

Is there anything today that would be equivalent? Go much more basic: My calculator is more powerful than those computers. | ||

 The first computers in our house were a Commodore 64 (fuck yea!!) and a BSR that originally came with the Cyrix 386 processor. I remember playing games like Ringworld and Legends of Valour on it, as well as all of the kickass games (Ultima I-III) on the Commodore...how things have changed. | ||
