Yes, but I was trying to say that you don't almost always don't need
to ultimate cutting edge of graphics technology.  Games are very often
advertised as having "high speed texture mapping" or "three layer
scrolling" or other fancy effects.  It is a mistake to think that
every game must represent a technological advancement.

And I'll disagree with you a bit.  I have *never* played a game which
was wrecked by badly drawn graphics.  It's the overall "funness" and
gameplay which matter.  I still play Millipede on my Atari 2600
because it's challenging and a lot of fun.  Never mind that the
mushrooms are actually blocks and that there is some flicker.

[I'm glad somebody agrees with me about Wolfenstein 3-D. I
have come to the conclusion that it's a computer junkie's game:  if
you aren't knowledgable enough to realize that the graphics are
impressive then you probably won't enjoy playing.]
