In a day and age where 3D game graphics are becoming more like the real thing, AI more cunning and complex, and modes and genres more diverse and rich with dynamic gameplay, it may seem odd that interest for classics from up to four decades ago can still exist, and not always just with those who were alive to enjoy the originals either. As anyone who has fired up an old time game perhaps from their childhood would know, it isn't about the primitive 2D graphics, the systematic and predictable AI or the basic genres and modes that were on offer, it is about simpler times when games felt more like games and less like cash cows - times when gameplay had to be king because graphics weren't advanced enough to be a major selling point and distract attention away from elements like shoddy level design and lackluster innovation.
