HI Tom, You are quite right. Personally, I don't believe a game created in a side-scroller format necessarily needs to imitate games for the Atari 2600 platform. After all those games lacked modern day features such as 3D graphics, realistic sounds, large player inventories, save game features, etc because they were very limited in what they could do. The programmers were designing games for a console with limited processor speed, limited random access memory, and absolutely no place to save games to. Pick any of your favorite games for the Atari 2600 or NES platforms, and I bet you a dozen doughnets I could improve upon the games initial design just because a PC has much more processor power, memory, and storage space. Not to say the least about better 3D graphics technology and 3D audio support.
