Yeah I think thats why the 16bit era stuff is still good.
It was basically the last of the generation.

Prob be the same in the future for the PSxx or whatever when we move onto the next big thing after 3D.

We are spoiled, that's the main reason some of these games don't hold our attention anymore. Back in the NES era, especially the early part of it, there weren't rental stores yet and the only real idea of what a game is like came from the screen shots. The games were around 70 bucks, so if you were unfortunate enough to buy Platoon or Gilligan's Island, you better make it fun because that's all you had to entertain yourself for the next few months. Some classics actually are very poorly designed. Ghost's n Goblins, for example, with it's randomly generated, constantly spawning enemies was virtually a guide of what NOT to do when designing a game.

Dude I played the hell our of the wwf games on the N64, not to mention Diddy kong racing, Goldeneye, Chefs luv shack...

But I get ot once you Cheat to make leveling bareable in Breath of Fire, your overpowered characters render the game pretty boring.
