I agree! Look at Thief 1,2(made for Win 98). Graphics are laughable but the game is still alive and popular! Look at Duke Nukem series 3D! Then there's Age of Empires I, Diablo II, even freeware, small-games like Little fighter II, Toribash etc.
@zatang: I disagree with your statement in the first post. Playing a game is never equal to watching a movie! In a movie, the protagonist knows what to do, how to pull things off, etc. I mean the stiryline is perfectly linear. In a game, YOU get to decide what kind of ending do you want, or, in case of linear gameplay, YOU get to decide if you want to convert, kick, punch, bite, ionize-with-beams(
), spray-paint-with-bullets, put a lightsaber through someone, or nuke 'em into orbit(my favourite
)! Take your pick! If you think it's like asking a dog to do tricks, you haven't ever been immersed in gaming (or played an immersive game). There can never be an end to gaming.
There can never be an end to graphics cards too! The pixel based display can never match the finer, sharper, complex, ever-detailed real world!
