only 90s kids remember when video game consoles were actually materially different and had different capabilities
this is kind of true too, because the ps2/gamecube/dreamcast/xbox era was the first one where games were frequently ported between all of the main systems
you didn't get games that came out on both playstation and n64, or both snes and genesis
@Felthry eh, you'd still see the rare port trying to put a game somewhere it was never designed to fit - e.g. the N64 version of Resident Evil 2
but in general a lot of completely different games with the same name
@Dex I kinda miss that completely-different-games-with-the-same-name thing really
like, the harry potter licensed games on both PC and GBC were both fantastic
I remember liking the hobbit PC game and later getting it on gamecube and then being incredibly disappointed it was the exact same game (this was back when the idea of a "port" was foreign to us)
