Retro graphics are dumb and bad. They used those graphics because they were technically limited and unable to make it not look like poo poo. Can you name a game that you think is improved by using primitive pixel art? Yeah, not showing the lovely Alien suit made that movie scarier but it's not like Ridley Scott was breaking out the stop motion kit to captialise on the Jason and the Argonauts nostalgia. They were trying their hardest with what they had.

For real, if any of you have not played Mania and you enjoyed the original Genesis games, buy this game.
