    And the fate of video games, themselves, was sealed. For the beast had risen once again, and would stop at nothing to ensure the crash, this time, would be permanent.

      I dont get it tho. The hardware is 40 years old. They could drop a raspberry pi in a banana peel and the processing power would be orders greater.
