Ah, so that’s Excite Bike, eh? Just another thing that makes me wish I had an NES growing up. I’ll have to check it out sometime.

Excitebike is a more advance version of motocross maniacs from game boy,though motocross maniacs actually was more to the stunts and tricks rather the race.Cool stuff mike and james.

When ya’ll were talking about the graphics that wasn’t “depth of field” which refers to the blur effect when a camera focuses on a foreground or background object. It was called the “parallax effect,” and it was created by moving the layers at offset speed intervals to create a pseudo two-point perspective.

I’d consider the first generation-worthy change in NES games was when they developed mappers (chips inside the cart to allow the games to use bigger ROMs than the NES natively supported).
Most games developed through 1985 didn’t have them, so you can see they had relatively simple gameplay (since they didn’t have a whole lot of memory for complex gameplay) and extremely sparse graphics (since they had to fit all the game’s graphics in a single tileset). Super Mario Bros. was about as complex as you could get.
Most games from 1986 and later had mappers.
I’d consider the NES to have a third-generation from about 1988 or so, when they made improved mappers to allow better sound (Famicom-only) and more advanced scrolling techniques like parallax.

Never really liked ‘Excitebike’ as a kid. Wasn’t happy with the graphics, and I was never any good at sports games. Still though, a fun video to watch!

Keep’em coming guys!
