Sometimes I have the feeling old games could accomplish a lot more than new games, even though they were made in a time when resources were very limited. Perhaps this is the answer - programmers and designers put more effort into their work because they knew how limited they were. And they usually managed ot create something good.

As for contemporary designers - they might have grown complacent with all the advanced technology they have at their disposal. When the game has "awesome" visual effects, they think they can neglect other areas...
