Rare Replay: Witness the Evolution of Gaming on One Disc - NDTV
What's more amazing, as you play through the games, is that it gives you a look into how gaming has changed over the years. For games released before 1996, you can also "rewind" progress to correct that jump you just missed, or dodge that enemy you hadn't seen. You can also set the game to have infinite lives, like a modern game, instead of forcing you to start over from the beginning when you can't clear a checkpoint. As you duck in and out of some of the most well-known titles in gaming history, the gradual progress of controls and gameplay mechanics as we moved away from the arcade and started to game on home consoles becomes apparent. The changing control schemes reflect the growing complexity of our hobby, and of course, the visual changes are an incredibly obvious reminder of just how far games have come since the early 80s. Rare Replay is also obviously an amazing look at... While it looks quite primitive today, it was considered one of the bst looking games at the time. Rare made over 40 NES games, and after the Super NES was announced, made fewer releases, building a close partnership with Nintendo. Source: gadgets.ndtv.com
