		+	'''Good graphics''' is a term used by [[Videlectrix]] to describe their game design ethos. The phrase is commonly said by the [[Videlectrix Guys]], with one constantly frustrated at the quality of his subordinate's output. However, Videlectrix's so-called "good" graphics are often [[Strong Bad's Technology\|decades out of date]], typically resembling games from the [[Atari 2600]] or [[Nintendo\|Nintendo Entertainment System]]; Videlectrix programmers [[RPS Interview - 17 Dec 2008\|have described 3D graphics as "ridiculous"]].
