[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 82571, member: 177511"] What is sad now is that developers just throw code at anything, the 16k specy was expected to move a blob or print a list but the chaps at Ultimate - now Rare managed to code it to do lots of stuff even Sir Clive never thought possible. No more spending days copying code from Mags and then finding a full stop in the wrong place and it didn't work. I loved writing basic with the three shift modes for each key. You had to write tight code to get it into 16k now applications come on 4gig DVDs! Bloated is the word - even games consols last only a few years then the next generation come along and the developers start again. When Sony and Nintendo were looking at a CD drive for the SNES then fell out (Sony then produced the PlayStation) Nintendo annouced the Donkey Kong series of games from Rare. This was at E3 - the developers though they had the new N64 ready for launch. What Rare had done was totally amazing code on the SNES. I am sure if developers had to stick with the PlayStation the games would amaze. I remember the first racing game 'Ridge Racer' if you compare that to 'Gran Turismo' you will see what I mean. Must stop this rant... Sorry guys - Have a great New Year and a super 2005 [/QUOTE]
