On the other end of this emotional spectrum I have always loved watching games evolve with me and what you think is now the best is kids stuff compared to what comes next. Mortal kombat and doom enraged parents at the time and now the stuff we can render at 60+ frames a second would blow people away in the 80s. Part software evolution and part hardware coming together each year to push the envelope, more sprites, more triangles more pixels more frames. I can afford whatever system I want now but when I was a kid a 180$ sega was like winning the lottery. |

It has blown away people who got started on '80s hardware. In particular, I'm pretty sure that Jeff Minter has made comments specifically saying how amazed he was at the sheer per-pixel computational power on the Xbox 360.
