That diversity of solutions often comic book exaggerations and lifting from the art and music department to get the point across. Voice acting / fully orchestrated just wasn't practical back then as storage was limited and compression was just getting off the ground. Everything was practically hand coded snd custom made in solving those problems. This gave things a unique style, sound, and feel them.
Yeah exactly. This is my point, having problems and limitations actually lends to the creativity. Once the problems are solved and tools all pop up to streamline aspects of production everything then takes on the character of the toolsets and you get significantly less creativity and diversity. The "someone else has already solved this problem for us" mindset reduces uniqueness.
