History Of Mughal Empire
There are a few empires in India which left a mark in Indian history. A mark which is hard to be forgotten about! History of Mughals is one of them. The empire was so vast that it almost occupied the entire subcontinent. Right from Afghanistan to central India, the Mughal Empire is considered to be one of the biggest in terms of size. Though we have been taught about history of Mughal dynasty in school, there are many interesting aspects that many of us would be unaware about. There is a need to uncover these hidden facts about mughal history and mughal emperors if you are a true Indian. Babur was the founder of Mughal Rule in India who established the empire in 1526. He was succeeded by Humayun. The empire became instable during his rule. He was pushed out of the Indian subcontinent by rebellions. And then came Akbar the Great. There is no doubt about the fact that one of the greatest mughal emperors was Akbar. This post has been created by GSA Content Generator DEMO.
He took care of his people like no other mughal emperor. He brought about so many reforms that everyone in the mughal empire was happy under his rule. The most important factor in the history of mughal empire under the rule of Akbar was that he respected all religions. Be it Hindus or Muslims, he considered all of them to be equal. Unlike the aggressive Muslim rulers of the Delhi sultanate, he believed that all religions should deserve its own respect. Due to this nature of Akbar, the trust among people grew and the empire started prospering. When we talk about Mughal history you can't miss the beautiful Mughal coins that were issued under this great ruler. Shahjahan was no less. He gave a lot of importance to art and literature. One of the biggest landmarks in the history of Mughals is definitely the Taj Mahal, which Shahjahan built in memory of her beloved wife Nur Jahan.

He loved his wife so much that he has also issued couplet coins in the name of Nur Jahan. Every Indian is proud of a majestic wonder like Taj Mahal. Not just Indians, but people from all around the world visit India to take a look at this wonderful sample of architecture built under the Mughal rule. Another important fact about Mughal history is that the kings married princesses from the Rajput dynasty. After a point in time, the Rajputs were actually responsible for administering the Mughal empire. Aurangzeb was not like Shahjahan or Akbar. He was one of the most aggressive Mughal emperors. He had constant clashes with Shivaji during the rise of Maratha Empire. It was after his reign that the fall of Mughal Empire began. His Son Shah Alam tried to control the rising discontent but in vain. So if we were to do a recap, the most glorious parts of Mughal history has been its contribution to Indian architecture, art and culture. Akbar was one of the very few Muslim rulers who accepted and respected other religions. There was a need for the legacy to continue, but because of the aggressive nature of Aurangzeb, people started getting angry, which finally led to the decline of Mughal empire.
So, in order to improve the game, we asked Mr. Nishizawa to join us as a planner. We made many improvements to make the game more interesting and this is how Aquario was created. If you ask me "Is there anything you want to change now?", I'm not sure. If I would make a remake, I'm sure there are many things I'd like to improve. However, this game is originally an arcade game, so in terms of enjoying the arcade games of the time, I don't think there's anything I'd like to change, because the game makes full use of the hardware specs and faithfully reproduces them to the extent that it's hard to believe that the game was created on the old hardware of that time. I don't think there is anything to improve. From a game preservation perspective, it’s incredible to see a game like Clockwork Aquario ‘saved’ in this way. Was there ever an idea to update it more thoroughly with HD art, etc, or was the idea always to preserve the original game ‘as it was’?
Dennis Mendel: Maybe 15 years ago or so, before the rise of indie games and the resurgence of retro games, this would have been a much more difficult decision. Developing and publishing games needs to be economically feasible, so with next generation 3D graphics and HD resolution, the art of drawing pixel art fell a bit behind, or so it seemed. Fortunately things changed and now all these different art styles peacefully coexist, so pixel art is being equally accepted by gamers like 3D or 2D HD graphics. For us, to keep the original style intact has always been our top priority and we think the game looks beautiful as it is, so we are confident that the graphics of Clockwork Aquario will please not only the hardcore retro game fans, but all fans of colorful arcade-style games. But sure, if people like the game as much as we do and there is demand for it, I am confident that there will be an option to create a new interpretation or even a sequel of the game together with the Westone team with modern hardware in mind.
