<Rahly> c65 had the best graphics in its day
<Rahly> *c64
<Descendnt> the absolute low point for video games was when CD-Roms got big in the early 90s...people stuck grainy video on them and called it a game
<Clowne> Descendnt, precisely as you said
<moonlord> and we, the gamers, didnt have a zillion titles to choose from which now makes us spoiled and fed up easily
<Descendnt> heh
