iPhone platformer Mimeo and the Kleptopus King has four kinds of nostalgia

Skipped it like Nintendo!

the only thing i rknow from the 32 bit era is the 32x *shivers*

And you call yourself a Sony boy. . .

*walks away in disgust

You name is "Sony Boy" and you only know of the 32x as a 32 bit console?

i was born in 1996, i only care about ps2,psp, ps3

Don't make me sik Picard on you again!

I've always felt sorry for kids born in the mid ninties who missed out on 8-bit, 16-bit and 32/64-bit consoles. I'm a hardcore gamer and will always remember the Nintendo 64 as the greatest console of all time, hence my absolute joy at the Virtual Console (and absolute disgust at Nintendo leaving the VC to die recently in favor of WiiWare). I've been so so close to re-purchasing a Nintendo 64 and hooking into the dozens of games i loved in High School. The VC offerings for Nintendo 64 games are severely lacking, tho i will say Mario Kart 64 is played at LEAST weekly.

Y-you don't care about the original playstation... You don't deserve to call yourself Sony boy... At all. I just- don't even know what to say.

What the f*ck? Double post... Oh well, my point stands

2bit - game-n-watch

Game Boy is an 8-bit system, though. Yes, it had a monochrome screen... but that had nothing to do with its processing power. Which is why this "bit" naming scheme fails.

360 and PS3 have 64-bit CPUs. Wii has a 32-bit CPU (as did GCN/PS2/Xbox). The "bit" thing stopped being relevant with the N64, pretty much.

Lol. I still remember being SUCH a N64 fanboy when i was younger that i would hang around the games section at Big W (i think you US people call it Wal-Mart) just to intercept game-buying parents and use my above-average communication and selling skills to talk parents into buying a Nintendo 64, even being able to quote gaming jargon and technical references hahaha. I was so articulate, one day i convinced a woman to buy over $400 of gaming console and games, and i didn't even work there. I figured if i was going to be a hardcore Nintendo fanboy, i might as well go out and do it properly :P

Foetoid,
I still do that at Target sometimes but only when I'm there for myself and some mom is hopelessly trying to pick out games for her kids. I'm pretty sure I've saved three Christmases, several birthdays and at least one night of Hanukah.

@WREturns With A Vengeance

Where were you when my Grandma bought me Primal Rage for Christmas when I asked for a SNES controller?

- that same year I read in gamepro (I think) that a kid had the same thing happen to him. Ask for a controller - get Primal Rage. Eh.

I remember playing that game last year. It kicks so much ass.

Different "resolutions" (or whatever) will reveal different platforms, so some puzzles can only be solved by evolving and devolving between them.

I believe it is referring to the bit-depth of the graphics, not necessarily the processor. 2-bit is two colors, 4-bit is four different shades, etc.

Actually that isn't quite right because 1-bit would be monochrome, and 2-bit would be four different shades. But I still think that bit depth of graphics is what it is referring to.
