idk m8, i was too young to play any of the early/mid 80's games(although i've played a few of them ) since alot of them came out before i was born, but i did play some of the late 80's early 90's games when i was a kid(earmy MM's/later wiz/later ultimas/ few goldbox ect) and even though some of those were the first games i played imo they don't hold a candle to most of the late 90's/couple of the early 00's games i played when i was a bit older.
I THINK there's a sweet spot in any entertainment industry between to primitive and too advanced for its own good, i watch alot of movies and i always find pretty much any movie made before the 70's(except for a few) is usually pretty shit, ditto for pretty much any movie made since the mid 90's. For me pretty much all my favorite movies came out between the early 70's and mid 90s where technology wasn't so primitive but no so advanced where the focus is more on special effects then on the story :p
same with games, most modern games focus too much on graphics(not that games with good graphics can't be good it just shouldn't be the focal point) and streamlining and less on gameplay , older ones are too primitive to be interesting to me even in shooters take half life 1 vs any modern shooter and there's no comparison, fallout 1/2 vs any modern rpg and it's the same story.
just my un educated un ethical opinion though read at your own risk
