Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 99901, post: 83579, member: 99901"] Having graduated high school in 97, I can reminisce a bit here. This was a particularly volatile time period technology wise. In 1988 I'm playing Wasteland. And by 1995 I'm playing Final Fantasy VI. Graphics were going through a rapid evolution and everything was trial and error to see what worked and what didn't. And underneath all this the internet was barely acknowledged or understood, contributing to that lack of uniformity in graphical evolution. By the time I'm in the second year of college the industry was being flooded by the new gen of "smooth boys": N64, Dreamcast, PS2. As a side note, as stated above, the 1990s was kind of dirty culturally. It was a knee jerk overcorrection to the 1980s glam rock and posh pop music scene, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, money is king culture. So we went with grunge, poverty, depression in the Americas despite a booming economy, all while East Europe was facing an actual economic crisis. //tl:dr penguin tastes like chicken [/QUOTE]
