At least, there are for me – and both have seen a resurrection in recent times. The first is, of course, Microsoft’s Intellimouse.

Taking some pixel art and weaving an intricate first act out of the few blocks of data in the 1990s before the three-dimensional polygon boom was and currently still is a lost art. YouTuber Einokeino303 clearly thinks so, as the fella has created a supercut of 51 classic video game openings.
