In short, it'd be cool for people back then, but they couldn't reproduce it or improve it, so technology would just continue improving at the same pace (perhaps faster from motivation of seeing the 360, I dunno).

anyway, it would be better to just fantasize about graphics 20 years from now. I predict: photo realistic, or damn close....
They're just about there. Have you played Half-Life 2 or Oblivion today? Scary man, awesome, yet scary.

Yeah very cool up to the point when you try to hook up the RGB plugs to the RF jack (the only input pretty much all 1980 TV's had I believe)
:P

But as gamelver said, you couldn't reverse engineer it. Not unless you brought back all the data sheets and drawings and schematics for every part. Even then it would take many years, and end up being at least 10X bigger because they couldn't make such complex parts as small as we do now. Just look at how big the NES is, and how small we now make NOAC's and you get the idea.

Now what I would do is buy a ton of stock in microsoft and hide it. Go back to now and bingo. M0nay$!!!!
Nah, you all know what I would do. Take over Richard Dean Andersons place as MacGyver ;)

Being pretty young, I never got to taste that stuff. Can anybody tell me if it tasted good and what it tasted like? :)
