LCD Games

We spent time in class today playing with some of the oldest forms of games. These games are incredibly challenging and require a totally different level of concentration that today's games. Playing the old Mario Brothers was an incredible challenge, having to split attention on both screens and think between ticks of the game.
I was surprised to see these primitive games have such depth and complexity. They make great use of all the images they included on the screen, as they re-use and recycle some of the sprites.
