It's been the kind of slow day around here where you find yourself just going to Youtube and typing in "T&C Surf NES" just to see how many awesome videos of T&C Surf Design: Wood & Water Rage come back. Turns out there are more than a few.
But that led me to do a little clicking around until I found myself confronted by a page with over 200 game videos, and most of them are just basic, clean recordings of the rolling demos and intro screens of a bunch of arcade and console games--mostly shooters and fighting games. It's kind of interesting to see how these games present themselves, especially the home games. Considering the attract mode was designed to "attract" players into dropping a quarter into an arcade machine, the rolling demos in home games were little more than a carryover from that old way of thinking.
These days, you're more likely to just see some sort of basic intro movie again and again when you pop in a game. Let's take it back to the days of Neo Turf Masters, baby!
ON THE GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
