You never noticed because it was the last time you had fun.

Get the belt
Getting technical, it was also helpful to system performance as it was less tiles the NES had to process on-screen simultaneously, which is why the game never experiences a slowdown or has any flickering associated with trying to process too many objects at once.
Now I’m older and watching youtubers go in depth about literally manipulating mario code through gameplay to beat the game, going on hunts to find where the textures used came from, etc etc
WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY?!
Lol what is that title? Maybe “you didn’t notice because you were having fun” but the last time? That’s so depressing.
Everyone pretty much knew at the time. Game magazines were big at the time
What is it with the older people on this sub being ridiculously bitter? Has it always been like this?
All of the posts about old games I’ve seen lately have been either “kids today don’t *get it*” gatekeeping bullshit or stuff like this about how games now are all garbage.
Like…if you don’t actually like games, *why are you here*?
This is a shitty repost of an earlier much more successful post
Let’s file this one under “Corny”
You asshole.. now I cant unsee that
Music plated faster and backwards. Nintendo people are geniuses
Gameplay over graphics.
We laughed about this even on our first play-throughs in the 80’s. Back then, all the popular computers used character/tilemap backgrounds in games and palette swapping was a cheap go-to, so it was super-obvious.
I think it’s only non-obvious to people who got into gaming afterwards, when tilemapped graphics were not ubiquitous.
I legitimately don’t understand the comic or the title. Why is he crying? And if the last time you had fun was when you played Super Mario Bros in 1985 I don’t think there’s anything more anyone can possibly do for you.
1) I doubt that affects anyone like this. It wasn’t the last time they had fun, and noticing did not negatively impact enjoyment.
2) Shit like that in modern games or older one is damn cool. Learning about all the weird tricks for how they make things work efficiently, or within engine limitations, is amazing.
“It was the last time you had fun”
Nah bro, pretty sure you just have depression
The 1-up sound is the entire music track smashed into 1 sec. For the same purpose of saving kb.
This kind of “muh nostalgia” posting is gonna give me aneurysm at this rate
That doesnt upset me at all, I just find it cool the little tricks they used to cram so much into games back in the day
Okay??
I’d find it awesome. Does that make me weird?
You never noticed a lot of things when you were younger. This is largely why I think gaming is no longer fun. We obsess over buggy, broken games, and yet when we were younger we had no idea what the hell a bug was.
I dont get it, is this supposed to imply suddenly the game isnt fun anymore?
How dare you try to end my fun
The fact that most people realize that years after playing the game for hours and hours tells a lot about how ingenious the devs were with limited resources.
