Last time tech impressed me was with Dreamcast. Nowadays you can throw
all the crap at me you want, 4K, HDR, gigatextures, etc... I am more
impressed seeing konami games from their golden age pulling graphical
tricks on 16 bit consoles. Rocket Knight, Sparkster, Contra The
hardcops... And Thunderforce IV. I'm a sucker for parallax effect and
multiple layers.
The other thing that more or less impresses me is FPGA based hardware.
OSSC, Mister FPGA. Hardware emulation making possible to replicate chips
and CPUs is the stuff of dreams.
