Re: Video Game Design

I remember playing some of these!

P.O.W.

Final Fantasy V

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

My brother and I got the first Nintendo for Christmas one year and we played that thing into the ground. Specifically (and I'm guessing because they came in the box) Mario and Duckhunt. I don't remember ever thinking about the graphics, but I must have thought they were awesome because you know the Wii commercials, where the whole fam gets in on the game—that's how I remember the Duckhunt experience. We stood up, we shot at the screen, we high-fived and had family bonding time.


Also, did you guys notice the Lightbox design on the site? I've never seen that plugin so customized. Usually I see a black opacity over the background screen, and there's standard typography for the title and info. The designer for this site added a different color, font and Twitter/Facebook/email buttons—awesome!
