Children of the 80s, beware. This video is bound to bring back the nostalgia that only an attachment to something that we spent way too much time on can do. Today, gaming is all about removing the variances and deviations from reality to make the gaming experience more than surreal – almost too real.

You thought that Retina Display was smooth. You thought pixels 4 times smaller than regular pixels were impressive. Man, have you got something to learn about what smooth be.
