What are the greatest advancements in gaming history?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Gaming has been around for decades and has advanced from the simple days of Pong and text-based games to cutting-edge graphics and cordless virtual reality. From the original Atari to PCs that would make NASA jealous, the evolution of gaming is a sight to behold.
How did the Nintendo Power Glove influence gaming technology?
But along the way, there have been some true moments of greatness and some humongous leaps forward. Today, we're going to be breaking down some of the biggest leaps in gaming. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he thinks the Nintendo Power Glove was the pinnacle of gaming technology. And he's not wrong. It's Ryan.
Dude, you almost felt like a superhero or a genie. Like, you could do anything with the Power Glove, man. Dude, I wanted that Power Glove more than anything in life, dude.
Me too.
And I knew it was never going to happen.
Yep.
And joining us, it wouldn't surprise me if he nominates the Wii U Balance Board and the Wii Fit Ring as the true pinnacle of gaming.
It's John!
I had considered it, but I think I might go Power Glove, actually. That totally slipped my mind for this episode, man. My friend Spud had one. That was the coolest thing ever. Whoa, you had a buddy that had a Power Glove? Yes, and we never were able to play a single game with it, but just the fact we had it was awesome.
Hold on.
I want to go back.
Did you say you had a friend named Spud? Yeah, Spud. That's what I got.
What game represented a nostalgic leap for players?
You know what's funny? He's a cop now, but when he was growing up, he was called Spud because when he was born, he was the size of a little potato. Oh, dang. Gotta love those lifelong nicknames, man. Right? Yeah, you have to be a good guy. Well, welcome in, everybody. We have a fantastic episode for you today. I am hyped to talk about this one. This was a fun look back at gaming. This is a fun episode, man.
What was the significance of the Sega CD in gaming evolution?
Man, we have come a long way. But we're going to get back to something that we've been wanting to do for a little while now. And this has kind of been put off to the side. But now it's time to bring this back to the forefront. And that is our quick questions that come in from our epic supporters. It's been a minute, but we're back to doing these, so sorry for the delay, but we did get a little sidetracked with some of the cool episodes, the interviews and stuff like that that we've been doing lately. But let's kick this off. This one comes in from NightWizard63, longtime Epic supporter, awesome member of the community. And his question is, what is a game that you've played that was so bad that you actually gain nostalgia from it to the point where you'd never play it again because of how bad it is, but you miss it? For example, mine is Goat Simulator. It's such a bad and dumb game, but I miss it sometimes. This is a good question because we've all had those games, guys. Yeah.
So I've got mine. Mine, for anybody who grew up in the Sega Genesis generation. Ooh, that's me. That's me. Yep. Sega CD, awesome. When I got my Sega CD and I got it at the tail end of its life, it came packaged with a game called Sewer Shark. tour shark oh yeah oh yeah and you'd have to like go look at youtube there's no way i could do it justice visually but what an abomination at the time i was i was happy to play it but it is by all measures a terrible game Oh, man. I've never heard of that, and now you got me curious.
Yeah, I never heard of that one either. What about you, Ryan? What you got? I got one, and I guess in the moment, just because it might have been a little revolutionary with what else has come out and the timing and stuff like that, but I'm going with Goldeneye, dude.
And you know why?
Because Perfect Dark was a hundred times better. GoldenEye freaking sucks. Go back and try to play it. That is the hottest of hot takes. Go back and try to play it. GoldenEye sucks. It's nostalgia. That's the only thing that saves it. And Perfect Dark was a hundred times better.
This is what I get for giving Ryan a nice intro. You know how I'm always picking on Ryan and then he's like, oh man, why are you always picking on me? I give you a nice intro finally and then you come out with saying the GoldenEye?
