Rough Translation:

If I have read this thread correctly, it has been viewed 551 times.

My thoughts will never change. Everything is cyclical.

Even the newest innovations of today will be considered "retro" at some time in the future.

Cases in point:

Pool Tables
1. The standard dimensions were once 4 x 8 ft.
2. Then, companies started manufacturing tables at 3-1/2 x 7 ft.
3. Later, they were manufactured at 3-1/5 x 9 ft.

Pinball Tables
1. They were once only mechanical.
2. With advances in pinball design, companies started producing electro-mechanical machines.
3. Today, pinball machines can even be completely digital.

Arcade Video Games
1. When the arcade boom hit, stand-up machines were the most popular.
2. Then, when the home market exploded, sit-down home video game systems took over in popularity.
3. Today, many people play games on PCs with processors getting faster and more powerful all the time - dual core, triple core, and even quad core.

Home Video Game Systems
1. SNK's Neo Geo console was popular years ago because you could play perfectly translated arcade games.
2. These days, you can play emulated classic arcade games on the Nintendo Wii.

It's called pick!

Thank YOU for your insights, ed!

I was hoping Google Translate would pull through for me!  :laugh:
