1981 vs 2006

Ulti's Analysis
2006 even being in a wild card match at all was a complete joke, and I'll get into its lineup more next round when I do a full retrospective, but as for these wild card matches there was zero reason for 2006 to be here. Thankfully this was over in seconds and we were able to just forget about this nonsense immediately.

I will point out that if you're a fan of arcade games, 1981 was a really good year. We've all played Donkey Kong and I imagine most of us know about the stories with people getting perfect scores in that game. If not, look into it. It's fascinating stuff. There was also Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, which are iconic video games that stand up to games made even today in 2017. Even Ultima, which I'm not a fan of, got the ball rolling for RPGs, which is the favorite genre on this site. It also gave us (eventually) one of the funniest video game review videos ever made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thuh3dnCrkU
