I actually miss the game graphics of old. Amiga/ST were the best graphics for games/esp 2D in my oppinion. More realism, in 2d Games, just doesn't tranlate to better games. When it was done right there are som many interesting things happening on the Amiga, colors were brilliant and fun. Playing cannon Fodder from the link the other day, again reminded me of this. Sprites are just more appealing to me. I guess it like loving a comic book style, over a photgraphic story book.
good graphics, seem to effect, 1st,3rd person shooters, as well as other 3d games better. Sports games, driving games, simulations etc.... But when it comes to adventure, when it comes to strategy, all the 3d texture graphics look cheap to me, as compared to a really well done sprite engine. Even fighting games, although they have made a lot of improvement, don't give me the feel that Street Fighter II did, The original Mortal Kombat's, SNK vs. Capcom. I like 3d fighters like Tekken and Virtua Fighter, but it never gave me the same feeling.
