Sometimes you just need to fill your veins with a healthy dose of pure, unadulterated nostalgia. Sometimes you just need to remember, through rose-tinted glasses, how things used to be, so that we can better understand how things are. When measured against the standards of times long past, we can begin to appreciate the incredible scope, imagination, and technological possibilities of today’s games; or we can learn that graphics may not be the game.
