I feel like there should be academic interest in classic video games just like there is in classic literature and classic films
maybe there is! i don't know. but i'd like to see it.
@Felthry there's a lot of great games crit (and even more mediocre mediocre games crit) on YouTube. I can recommend some channels if you'd like.
@Felthry also agree tbh. The narratives in some old games are really interesting to investigate. Or just the technology/art.
For example, I feel the way that pkmn gold/silver use two colour tones and black to create its sprites, yet communicates lighting and even makes you see more colours than are present using dithering is v interesting!
Like how they got around what was clearly a game space or graphical limitation yet kept the sprites looking really nice.
