Thanks for reading. We'll never see anything like the technology leap we had back in the late 70's early 80's ever again. I mean, even the internet wasn't that great a leap. Simply connecting PCs.
The internet was a "bigger screen" of the lets-connect-two-computers-together breakthrough. Still mind blowing though.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I'm a huge fan of side/top scroller shootemups (R-Type being up there at the top as one of the hardest games ever made).
