Reception

Computer Gaming World in 1988 stated that Rocky had "the most eye-popping graphics".[2]

gollark: I only know networking *ironically*.
gollark: Suuuure.
gollark: Anyway, the mechanism here is obvious: poor treatment of tendon injuries causes more resources to be spent on attempting to repair the tendon, instead of being used to develop your brain so you would know how video codecs and containers work. This is definitely how it works.
gollark: Just handling of videos.
gollark: It's not a technical term.
