The next retro graphics craze!

I bet you in the next couple years we're gonna see an
ironic revival of shitty, 1992-style chunky 3D graphics
like this.

You know, it'll be all about Lawnmower Man, The Chart Show
intro, virtual reality, early nineties TV documentaries
about William Gibson, Wolfenstein 3D, the information
superhighway, ad nauseum...

This will all be part of a wider early nineties revival
dredging up things like shoegazing, Sega Megadrive, Gulf War
I:The Walkover and of course rave, which is gonna explode
everywhere like electroclash did a couple of years back.

i remember this virtual reality thing they had at the city
science center back then. it was almost the complete
opposite of reality. you stood still in one place and used
the hat on a joystick to move, and you didn't even really
turn your head to look around either, if i remember right.
the closest thing i've seen to virtual reality was the
motion-sensing version of virtua fighter that they had at
the arcade downtown. and that didn't work well either. i
think they went for the whole VR thing way too soon back
then. it might actually be semi-plausible now with the
implementation of bluetooth and everything.

I always liked the 3D-games on the Amiga, where the polygons
had no textures. Every object surface was just one color.
