Bout time someone had the stones to call that. Old games are fucking shite.

Well, now they're just smartened up a tad and turned into mobile phone apps instead.
There are a few games that are good, but 99% of apps are utter balls.

It was always like this.
Most 8 bit gmes were recognised as being shit at the time. There were a few brilliant ones, lots of mediocre ones and dozens of utterly crappy knockoffs.
It was the same in the 16 bit era, and it's the same now.
Personally I thought the 16 bit games were pretty much the high point for "retro". Computers were good enough to run something reasonably complex but they were still cheap enough to make that people could do crazy stuff.
