Ndi bwino kupita kusukulu yakale
Zoonadi, pali zida zambiri zatsopano, koma palibe chomwe chimasewera masewera a masewera. Izi ndizo zotonthoza zomwe tazitcha masewera monga momwe tikudziwira, chifukwa cha upangidwe wawo wa upainiya, mawonekedwe atsopano ndi machitidwe oopseza omwe adayambitsa mitundu yatsopano ndi mafashoni pawokha.
M'munsimu muli masewera asanu ndi atatu apamwamba kwambiri osewera masewera olimbitsa thupi. Tapanga zochitika zambiri zomwe zikulingalira zaka zakubadwa, kutonthoza malonda, zosaŵerengeka ndi masewera olimbitsa thupi, komanso zotsatira za chikhalidwe chawo. Ngati ndinu okonda sukulu yakale kapena mukufuna kutengera zaka za golidi, mungatenge imodzi mwazinthu izi kuti mudziwe bwino ndikudabwa zomwe zakusungirani.
Super Nintendo (SNES) ya 1991 ndipamwamba kwambiri pochita masewera olimbitsa thupi a 16-bit. SNES anakumana ndi anthu ambiri omwe akukangana, monga Sega Genesis, koma adatha kukhala pamwamba ndi maulendo atatu (Awerengera: Donkey Kong Country ndi Super Mario World), mitengo yamtengo wapatali ndi hardware yokongola ndi sound stereo.
Ndi masewera opitirira 725 mu laibulale yake, SNES inali imodzi mwa zotonthoza zabwino zomwe zinabwera mumsika ndi chithandizo cha chipani chachitatu. Chifukwa cha mbiri yakale yomwe adalonjeza komanso malonda a malonda, Nintendo adapeza mwayi wapamtima wocheza ndi kampani yachitatu ya Capcom, akuwapatsa chithunzi choyamba cha Street Fighter II. Nintendo inapita pamwamba ndi kupitirira ndi SNES mwa kupanga chipangizo cha Super FX, kulola kuti 3D zikhale ndi maudindo ngati Starfox ndi Doom popanda kuwonjezera pa zipangizo zirizonse zosafunika.
