And More Nostalgia

[Moozik: Hocico - Taste The Waste]

Jeff Minter with a spot-on blog post about how far games have come since the good old days. As evidence, Pole Position.

Simple things like there being perspective on the road! and cars that got bigger as you got close to them! were AMAZING back then. Never mind that really the game played a bit like arse. It was entirely lovable, though, for its bright colours and spinny steering wheel - but yeah, when you look at the new Burnout it reminds you how far we've come...

I dread to think how many 10p coins I put in that sit-down version of Pole Position that year at Butlins. Wow, it's funny the things you remember. Today I'm all about the nostalgia ;-)
