It's interesting to see how the technology curve has flattened in those two intervals. In 1997, games and computing in general was light years beyond where it was in 1980, to the point where a 1980 vintage machine was so obsolete as to be useless. In 2012, we've definitely advanced beyond 1997, but it feels a lot more incremental. A 1997 vintage machine today would feel creaky, to say the least, but you could still run a fair amount of modern software on it.
