Looking back at the marketing gimmicks of my time, I realized very soon after the Nintendo 64 came out that 64 bits weren’t much to be bragging about. The fact is, bits don’t mean all that much to a gaming system. Despite my luck in learning that fact, I never really did learn what a bit was -or why it was always double the previous amount(ie SNES was 32). I know it has something to do with binary code (which I never learned) and
something to do with the input/output of all those 0s and 1s that make up the screen you’re looking at right now. I just wish I knew more…
