It's fascinating how flawed the #games we played as kids were; #programming was primitive, and they couldn't do updates.

In #SuperMarioBros3 the card matching mini-game only has 8 different layouts because of a bug in the shuffling #algorithm

Don't put hyperlinks in the title, it just types out all the formatting. Also, idk about fascinating.
they're a mastodon account @ tagging lemmy communities as a hashtag. It's not exactly their fault the title is borked, because they're submitting from a different platform.
@PapaStevesy don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me how to feel
@schizanon @gaming That’s part of why I’m always surprised at how much people will rail on bugs in games now. I mean sure if a bug makes a game literally impossible to complete, rail away. But half the stuff people complain about are things that when I was a kid would have been treated as hilarious quirks and possibly things vital to the ability to speed run the games.
The hardware was primitive. The programming was frequently much better than most of what gets done in games today.
@jsdz for some definitions of "better"
