I remember when Mario was played on black and white, greyish GameBoys. Ah, memories...

Hard games are fun. They provide a challenge that keeps your wits up and is most rewarding upon completion.

I think I had the first 1 and 2. And then WarioLand 3.
I think I made it to level 2 with MarioLand 1. MarioLand 2 was funner. WarioLand 3 was scary stuff.

I had Warioland 3! I just thought he was a crappy knock-off of Mario ^^

I got a few levels in.
I had the original Zelda and a bunch of other games. Not that I got that far.

The original Zelda on NES? Or do you mean Zelda: Link's Awakening on the Game Boy?

congrats! what languages will you learn for programming? Most likely C#, C++ and Java - I think. I know those are usually the languages used for games, mainly C++. Oh God, I dabbled in C in my first year.....awful compared to Basic. It just seems so primitive to me.  But I know C++ must be an improvement! BTW, I'm not so much into programming, that's why I'm majoring in Network Computing!  |

A big congrats to ya, Krist. Game Development, eh? Well, here's hoping you become the next Shigeru Miyamoto or David Jaffe. And I do quite agree. We sure have come a long way since the Atari. ;D |

Now I know a second person that makes video games. My cousin designs them and his kids get all the free stuff...

Well, here's hoping you become the next Shigeru Miyamoto or David Jaffe. Let's just hope he doesn't become the next Romero  |

Krist, since you have an interest in games, I ask, do you "mod" PC games?
You know, work with txt docs, tga files, XML files, BIN files, DAT files, IDX files, texture files, etc...
Just a curiosity.
Usually yes, but games recently have become increasingly more complex.
Some games (like the one I mod) have more than 64000 lines of code just for some scripts, and they use a parallel program to C++, but greater in complexity for it's hardcoded parts. Besides C++ can't make a game able to make itself modifiable in several aspects (more and more aspects with each new game), this requires an extensively complex programing language.
At the moment any other more "primary" computer language than C++(and other parallel languages) would be the "machine language" itself also named "hardware language", this of course is fully dependant on the hardware architecture.
