I think I have the worlds oldest gaming console here somewhere. It had two controllers that consisted of a stick and a button hardwired to the console, it had a cartridge a bit like a Super Nintendo, but that was also hardwired into the console (i.e. that was the only one you could ever use!!). And, one of the few games on that cartridge was pong. I'll see if can find it and post a pic... read more.
I haven't really seen anything like that, but I do remember this one song that I heard once that has all these wonderful descriptions of this car dates '64... and that's old now...
Did u ever see a mac in the early 90's...
With a 10' or so screen... and the 5 1/4 drive.. now that's something to laugh about!!!! That and it's "logo" software!!!!
I used to learn BASIC program language in 94 That was funny. Like simplifed turing!
There is a pile of gray junk beside the XP PC in the library.
I didn't realize what it was until one day, I bumped it and it gave out a logo music. A Mac has turned on. Eww.
If anyone wants to see something old, go find a classic Game&Watch system. So damn old, and still better that some games...
Wait 'til 2015...by then the things you're using now will be very funny and old-fashioned!
Indeed, the advances in technology have been incredible, but have the advances in computers really helped the special effects of movies? Looking back 12 years ago to 1993, Jurassic Park was first released. To me, this movie had some of the best special effects, and I think it still does. It seems that in this movie, the visual effects artists created a perfect balance of animatronics and computer graphics. Now, some of the newer movies' special effects are created using computers instead of actual people and animatronics. Sure, this does add a great deal of possibilities to the special effects industry, but you have to admit that some of these computer-generated effects look pretty cheesy (there are some exceptions, of course, like most of The Matrix or The Lord of the Rings trilogies). It seems movie makers are taking the cheap way out...why spend hundreds of thousands on animatronics when you could just do it on a computer and save a lot of money? I'm sure that the technology of computer-generated special effects will improve in the coming years, but for now I think that the movies rely too much on computer graphics.
if you ever listen to dire straits- money for nothing they talking about refirdgeators and colour TV's and that stuff was exactly new then but it was still a luxuray rather than a neccesity.

Hey just want to give a shout out to all my homies, SUP!!
Yeah I was just watching Scream 3 when I saw a Cop pull out a sell phone and as he was punching in numbers the phone cracked like a booger!!You could so tell it was not real. -Cassandra St.Cyer QUOTE(redsox58 @ Feb 22 2005, 08:43 PM) They are kinda cool-looking imo. Recently movies have become way to reliant on computer-genereated effects.. They lack story-line, plots, and dialouge, all of which they try to compensate with special effects.. American movies especially
I think its pretty cheesy when you see old movies where they simply fast-forward the footage to make it look like a person is runnuing really fast or something. The sad thing is that they sometimes still use it today!!! Its terrible!!!!!!
Ive seen about three movies lately that were abosolutely APPALING. I think one was called "infested" (about flies that enter your body and turn you into a zombie), One was about a plague of infested rats or something (dont remember the name) and one was about an airport terminal that is being overtaken by aliens. All the movies are really low-budget with terrible computer-generated effects and appaling story-lines. All three movies are about a small group of people trying to beat the enemy and in the end, there is a scene where a few rasts crawl out of a hole or one alienm survives or some flies survive. As if anyone is going to make a sequal to these movies!!!! These movies went straight to Fox-tel (Australian cable tv) skipping the cinema and probably ideo/DVD too.
