The interesting thing I thought was many of the new video titles I saw this year were old games put in Nintendo format. In fact some games were almost 8 years old (M.U.L.E. for example)! I find it interesting that all those good-ol games that we started out playing on the Apple 2's and Atari's years ago are coming back to be resold to the next generation of kids who think these are the latest in computer games. Of course there were noticibly more 3D games now that everyone has gone to 16 bit. But for the most part side-view-jump-and-shoot-em-up games seem to be predominant. I wonder if anyone will ever bring back Star Raiders?
