I bought MDK two years after release for 10€ because the screenshots on the box looked pretty but I was super disappointed once I saw it in motion on my PC… Back in these days game graphics got better so quick, that a (originally super pretty) two year old game looked bad on my PC.
True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that’s how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).
The memest meme post and we were not only alive at the same time as OP but we even saw it and witnessed its greatness first. Lemmy is truly amazing.
