Old does not mean boring.

Each year game companies like Blizzard and Electronic Arts keep releasing new video games that push the boundaries of graphic technology (see above: Mirror's Edge by Electronic Arts). About two weeks ago I found myself reverting back to older games with less advanced technology. I went all the way back to the original Nintendo Entertainment System and played Super Dodge Ball. This is an 8-bit game that only uses a directional pad and two buttons. The controls for games now-a-days are so much more complex; Having to use multiple keystrokes as well as different combinations of them at the same time. Super Dodge Ball was my favorite game to play when I was young and I feel that because of that, it will never seem boring. Another "old school" game I recently started playing again was created back in 2001. Diablo II was created by Blizzard and became huge shortly after its release. It is not as simple as Super Dodge Ball but im comparison to its successor, World of Warcraft, it looks very simple.
Graphics are not the main aspect to a game. It is the game play that determines the level of fun. All the graphics do is fluff it up and attract people to play it.
