"Meets and greets, gamers one and all! gamesmasterjasper here, with a bit of an essay for you. The Renaissance of Games: A Reality? An Essay by: gamesmasterjasper. First of all what is The Renaissance of Games? I think of it as the period when games reach their pinnacle. It is when the highest amount of the best games exist. Designers try new things, yet retain lessons of old (games). Now, can it ever exist? I think so. Perhaps it has already happened. There is a strong argument in gaming circles that it occurred with the release of the Super Nintendo, the first real gaming console. This period saw many new and innovative games on the market. Mario, Zelda II, and the Samus series ushered in trends that would influence gaming for the next 10 years. Others say that it occurred with the birth of Shiggy Miyamoto, the father of the modern game. In the gmj offices, this theory is very popular. When I continued to ask around in the building, I also learned of arguments for the G-Renaissance occurring when records started being kept. Myself? I think we are constantly in a Gaming Renaissance. With a new Super Mario game on the way, things have never been better. In conclusion, perhaps we may never decide on the time period for the it. Perhaps it is just a myth, or a hopeful wish. Or maybe, we can just imagine... a day when the streets are paved with Games."
