I can't think of anything of the top of my head, but you have basically re-inforced what I have been saying for years...

Graphics don't mean jack.

Take Final Fantasy VI as an example. In today's terms they represent atrocious graphics - but the gameplay man, the gameplay is where it's at...

If there is one thing I can't abide it's Graphic Whores. Unless a game has the utmost level of detail they don't want to know...

This generation of gamers don't appreciate pure gameplay. My first games machine was a Commodore VIC-20. 3.5K of RAM and 8 colours maximum. From there I went to a Sinclair Spectrum (48K RAM and 2 colours per 8 pixel block). I could name a few others between that and my current setup but I can't be arsed.

Graphics should not dictate the games you play - the gameplay should.

Just because you put a cat in the oven, that doesn't make it a biscuit.... In other words, if a game is shite, it doesn't matter how great the graphics are - it's still shite, albeit nicely rendered shite...

Rant over now... lol.
