Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 262049, member: 660650"] Hmm. It kinda felt like games are endless in Atari 2600-era but it's my child memories. You survived, there was goals, and then the game never ended until you die or turn off the console so this is the way I mean there was no sense of "progression". When there was a sense of "level change" it was like same level but something else happens but to me it was like game is endless, just levels changing just like how arcade games were. So, I learned games can "end" in Sega Genesis-era because I was so stuck with arcade mentality. I thought all the next levels are same shit and it would go on and on endlessly as how arcade games are. So when I played Streets of Rage and finished it I was like "WTF happened" because there was an end lol, however not many games were fun to play enough to bother ending it for me. I usually played first levels of games and after first level I swapped games until I get bored for the day. It was only during Playstation 1-era with Metal Gear Solid 1 that I cared about games can have a story and it can be worthwhile to end them, but then I only cared about stealth gameplay so it was fun. It made your brain get familiar with the idea of "progression". If I had played SNES RPG at the time my gamer brain stucked in arcade mentality would be improved way before than PlayStation 1-era. I had no idea SNES existed until I was enjoying the technology of internet and PS2 lol. [/QUOTE]
