Whats wrong with this image?

Postby scotland » June 4th, 2016, 2:03 pm

So I'm reading a list of top selling console games, and something about the pictures bothers me. Have you ever experienced this? In this case, the website was http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/04/the-best-video-games-to-come-out-every-year-since-the-atari-2600/. These are supposed to be the original home console (or portable) versions of games. Instead of reading the article, I am playing find the flaw

1. Atari 2600 Space Invaders --

2. Atari 2600 Breakout -

3. Atari 2600 (Activision) Pitfall! -

What version of Pitfall is that? That looks spectacular.

Space Invaders: enemies can only shoot one bullet at a time. Also, no barriers.

Breakout: not sure, but two missing vertical blocks in a row on left center side?

Pitfall: different character, and alligators are different.

Did I win?

You win.

The Space Invaders has too many columns, Pitfall is missing its undeground passages, and Breakout just seems more like Arkanoid.

The website also says the best selling video game of 2005 was Nintendogs? Nintendogs? Not Madden or Pokemon, but Nintendogs? Bow wow.

Everything is so Mirror Universe ... wait..did J.J. Abrahms recently reboot the last 50 years?!

Those gators should have known they'd get stuck in the tar pit. What a graphic 8-bit death!

Looking at the picture for Super Mario World, I'm calling a troll. At least, I'm hoping that's a troll. Please tell me that's a troll.

It's so obviously radiating "I don't give a single [bleep] about your videogames", that it's really hard to believe they'd care enough about the subject to create this list in the first place.

I've never seen an image like that from Wii sports. Maybe I'm just playing it wrong...
