/vr/ - Retro Games

I had some older LCD games where you could actually move around the screen; some of those were pretty cool. By the time my younger siblings started getting these games as presents they were all the Tiger ones where your character is basically nailed to one spot on the screen and poorly-simulated scrolling replaces movement.

In retrospect, I guess that was a symptom of the times. Older LCD games tried to simulate one-screen atari-ish games and were somewhat successful, later eighties LCD tried to simulate more sidescrollers and mostly failed.
