@misserichan.northsky.socialLike I have notes on the stereotypes in #PunchOut and Punch-Out as wish fulfillment, on #FinalFantasyVI and death of the author, on subtle environmental storytelling in #SuperMarioBros, and on how even #SpaceInvaders takes for granted subtle, rarely questioned anticolonialist assumptions.
@balloonacygame.bsky.socialSpace Invaders got harder because of its hardware. Fewer aliens meant faster gameplay—a limitation became legendary. #SpaceInvaders #RetroGaming #GameDev
