The thing is... in the old days there was a lot more freedom in the way individuals/groups/companies went about producing games. There was also a wider market in terms of PD releases imo.

A lot of games produced these days are market driven and creativity has suffered. Sure, games may look pretty but that's the thing, they look too polished, 80's/90's games are like analogue whereas everything these days is plain cut digital...

If anyone knows what I'm going on about please press 1, otherwise please hang up the phone.
