    Ageing badly fascinates me because the effect itself doesn’t change, our perception of it does.

    My memories of Morrowwind are of an amazing landcape; but if I fire it up I’m looking at a bunch of dingy polygons.

      A perfect example of this is in Terminator 1, the brief shot of Arnold in the mirror of the hotel. It’s so obviously inconsistent with the animatronics that, had they just spent more time on Arnold’s makeup they would have nailed it.

      I know for a fact practical effects were up to par in 1984.

        Can’t say I remember that, but I will look out for it next time I watch.
