YOU were watching it with the eyes of a kid. I was watching it with the eyes of a jaded college grad in his early 20s who'd already lived through multiple console generations.
If anything, the jump that really hit me was the step from the SNES to the PS1. That's honestly the last time I remember being kind of viscerally stunned by something in gaming. The FFVII intro really was shocking to someone who had mostly been playing sprite-graphic games for years.
Fair enough, each to their own I suppose
