Footage sourced from professional grade 90's video masters does indeed look pretty good. Unfortunately, a lot of analog "video" footage now floating around is taken from at best a second gen copy/transfer (which remains the case with many of the "official" music video uploads of older videos). At worst, it's taken from a home VHS capture of an over the air broadcast or cable/satellite broadcast. The newest generations must think that "everything" filmed with analog video cameras looked like crap so they are caught off-guard to see what high quality first gen video footage looked like in the 90's.

Back when people literally didn't understand what a video-game was. They understood pinball, but just couldn't wrap their head around using buttons to make things happen on the screen. Also the fact that Ed Boon said Mortal Kombat was for kids on the record several times was actually used against him and the industry during the vidoegame scare of the mid-90s (a few years later), and is a direct reason why the ESRB ended up being formed as a knee-jerk reaction to keep videogames from being controlled by the government. Ed Boon was essentially the reason it happened, because John Carmack (who was also a focus of theirs) atleast was wise enough to not say DOOM was for kids. Ed made it clear that their product was aimed at kids, and that did not sit well with Lieberman or congress. I remember those days well enough.
