Drawing and image manipulation tools have actually existed since very early in computers' existence. Smooth brush and smoothing/smudging tool.
It's really surprising to see how old technologies like graphics tablets actually are.

I'm at the point now where I have some consoles that aren't working well and probably just need a clean or something. Any recommendations for a screwdriver set that'll essentially cover all bases, I know a few SEGA and Nintendo consoles / carts use some uncommon screws. I've heard people say pic related (iFixit) is good but not sure if it would cover everything you'd need? Mainly got Saturn, Gamecube and Game Gear acting up but I'll probably need it for my PS1/2, Xbox, N64 soon enough and would like to be able to open up my old Game Boy carts as well.

No, I stack a Philips 2 and a hex socket bit into each other to reach those screws. If the screw wells are very narrow and deep I do have longer drivers but 98% of the time I get by with that kit.

thanks you guys, I see the light now and no longer enjoy FFVII.
>>
>>12427006
Let me fix that list for you OP.
Doom and Super Mario Bros are easy ins. Agreed.
I would add Minecraft, love it or hate it, it changed gaming. Basically invented the survival crafting genre, and was the first major pioneer of early access neverending development. I would also say it was the first indie game to truly go big in the internet era. I would say pick an earlier RPG than FF7. Maybe earthbound? Or Just an older Final Fantasy. The genre was well established long before FF7 came along. Replace Mario 64 with Gran Turismo to get some racing/simulator representation. Thats my input that nobody cares about.

>It's the same level of brilliance as the opening shot of Star Wars.
Yeah but what was "revolutionary" about it?
It's a really good introduction, one of the best in videogame history in my opinion.
But how is it a "revolution" to use FMV technology to implement a 2-minute opening cutscene that's effectively on par with hollywood movies from 2 decades prior?

There was a revolution happening in videogames, but it wasn't kicked off by Final Fantasy 7 it was kicked off by the explosion of 3D graphics hardware in the early 90s, and development of vastly cheaper and better storage. Final Fantasy 7 was just an early example to deliver on the potential, by adding a shitload of spectacle to an otherwise strict JRPG formula game.

>>12437068
FFVII is a great game, it just wasn't revolutionary.
>>
>>12436104
Right, so Quake is a good tech demo. No one ITT has said anything about its actual gameplay because it's just another take on the Doom formula that everyone was doing.

No thats actually exactly what the situation is. Devs were taking advantage of the blurriness you would get from rf and to a lesser extent composite to create intermediate colors and gradients.

I'm not aware of any specific effects that would have been achieved via RF. All of the predictable blending and chroma distortions should appear whether you're viewing the composite directly or demodulated. But certainly on something like the original famicom, the developers would have been testing via RF.

I'm thinking of playing through every MK game, beating arcade mode with every character, playing through any bonus modes, then moving on to the next game, and so on.
Is this a good or bad idea? Has anyone done something similar?

>>
>>12433437
Do you just mean because it would be long and tedious or are there specific characters seen as almost impossible to beat it with? I remember when I owned Street Fighter Alpha 3 on PS1 I could beat arcade mode on the highest difficulty with every character except T Hawk and I couldn't even beat it on the lowest difficulty with him lol.
>>

>>12429789
This. The single player game of MK is garbage. It's not impossibly hard, but beating it is just a matter of fucking up the AI. The fun of the series is the crazy chaos of multiplayer, without that it's not worth much.

>>12437157
When Sega sends its arcade ports, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending ports that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing low framerate. They’re bringing graphics downgrades. They’re awful. And some, I assume, are good ports.
