Gamers today be like:
"This game's raytracing sucks."
"Water physics doesn't look realistic at all
"The walking cycle is so immersion-breaking"
"Draw distance is only around 200 meters"

Gamers in 1982 be like:
"Oh hell yeah! It's a #StarWars Snow Speeder!"

I really liked the Empire Strikes Back game for Atari!

It was a very solid Defender-like that's still fun to play, even today.

It actually saw a pretty good #C64 #homebrew a couple of years back that gives the game's visuals a nice overhaul and makes everything stand out a lot more.

It still looks beautifully retro ofc. Just a little more defined.
