Reckon that kinda sums up why todays games don't impress me much, having started of with the VIC 20s 8 colours & the C64s 16 colours and being totally blown away at the time with what people could achieve with so little. 
Exactly how I feel. One of the reasons modern gaming seems so generic to me. All looks the same today! At least back then, when you saw a screen shot of something, you could make an educated guess as to what platform it was on. And that's partly what made the games and systems more interesting. Nothing compelling about generic off the shelf parts and standards. Unless they're put to use in creating an affordable and economically sensible computer to run an Amiga or Amiga like OS on
