I'm not saying I am. Generally everyone, not counting the 'fan-club' online, can't stomach them. I enjoy them, but that doesn't stop them from losing their flare to the majority of everyone else. Pretty much everyone has began to subscribe to the "realist graphics are what make the game"

*shrugs* I can always put a slider on to control oldschool vs. shiny graphics. It worked for Graalympus, and I wasn't even trying to alter what players saw each other as then. Bwaha.

Totally. The retro games had a certain charm that transcends simple Nostalgia. Some games really were only good because we had no other options - A lot of Nintendo Hard games kept us coming back for more because we couldn't just trade it in for a better game - but a lot of them stand up well even in this modern age of Everything's a 3D MMORPG.

We ought to learn from our ancestors if we're going to beat the big-budget games. Go back to the day when games were made by one programmer between projects to teach himself how to code for Windows instead of DOS...
