Strafox's How Video Games Were Made - Part 1: Graphics
Strayfox's series on the process of making video games in the 80's and 90's. This episode talks about the different graphics hardware of the time and how it influenced the design process.
Another strafox video short-umentary series, this one centered on the topic of SEGA's Sonic The Hedgehog games. This one is about Sonic The Hedgehog, the first entry in the series. Fitting as this is the first episode.
Lyrics:
How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried
Oh, how I've tried for a life
Yes, a life I thought I knew
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Time seems to have frozen
But the mind can be fooled
As the days pass, I discover
Destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times
Oh, hard times, for the prize
Yes, the prize I thought I knew
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
[Guitar Solo]
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Why do you build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
(Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten" you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
(Bah-dah-dah)
I run to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Why do you build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
(Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
(Bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Why do you build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
(Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
