In the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, Nintendo was notorious for dragging out the life-cycles of their consoles, which gave developers plenty of time to perfect their programming and graphical techniques to make the most of the hardware.
However, with this series, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at games that were the most demanding when it came to a console’s limited system resources. I usually try to emphasize that gameplay is more important that graphical quality.
Each machine has had its strengths and weaknesses, and as a programmer, I’m amazed by some of the ways developers have harnessed the power of consoles and pushed them to their limits resulting is some marvelous games. Over the years, I have been fascinated by the history of the various machines that have battled for our living rooms. In case you haven’t followed Racketboy very long, the Pushed The Limits series (see our NES, TG16, and Genesis installments) takes a look at the games that truly made the most of a console’s hardware.
