On a more serious note i find it amazing how graphics for example have evolved over the last 25-30 years in gaming.

 

Just take a look at earlier days of gaming vs present time.

Some games had stood the test of time though. Look at UT '99. With the community support that game has aged INCREDIBLY well. I'm not saying it is triple A equivalent but for a 22 year old game I still enjoy it.
