Young kids on the internets these days run around putting their
X Box Ones and Playstations Fours on a pedestal screaming at the top of their
lungs the glories of their favorite system and calling those who like other consoles
"Noob". They think they're so entrenched in their "console
wars" talking about which version of Assassin's
Creed 4: Black Flag is slightly better than the other. Ah, these kids. They
don't know what a REAL console war is about. All them fancy gizamadoos and
multiplat games... they're pretty much the same console with a different logo
on the front. That's not a console war. The REAL console wars happened back in
the day, during the 80s and the 90s, when gaming, like a GLORIOUS phoenix, rose
from the ashes of the Great Crash of 1983 to become the large blob of sameness
that it is today. Join me, now. Let me tell you a story. A story of a great
industry that fell, and then rose, and that at war with itself grew
exponentially, until it forgot what it had originally been, to become what it is
today.
