Then: Awesome Classics
Now: Crappy remakes and sequels

Remember playing the awesome Goldeneye for the 64? How about Turok or Perfect Dark? Or even Banjo Kazue? All great games,probably in the list of best games ever. Have you played their sequels? They're the worst games ever and lost the concept of the original. In the new Turok, you're an astruanaut? In Banjo, you drive cars? Seriously, what were they thinking? Why not just take what they had, touch up the engine, and have a new storyline with the same characters? Is it really that hard?

Spyro the Dragon does that. It's no wonder those games are cool.

Those games should've died along time ago.

Oh, why didn't I think of this?!
I totally agree with you, but sometimes even the same characters, different storyline thing gets botched up.

Crash Bandicoot? Remember the PS1 games? God, those were fun. Now, they're just retarded.

Game Soundtracks
Then: Turok 2, Megaman, etc.
Now: Splinter Cell, Halo, etc.

You know what makes a game a masterpiece?

Gameplay, story.... and the soundtrack.

These tracks just make your skin crawl, they fit in with the level well. It makes you feel like you could run into something at any minute.

These ones.... not so much. It feels that way at first, but then something kills it.

Halo has the greatest video game music, ever.

End.

This.

I've heard better...

I prefer the music KoF has, most of the character's theme songs are epic.

Game Content
Then: They put as much into the game as could be possible.
Now: Extra levels n' shit have to be downloaded.

Games used to have so much in them. You were usually getting what you payed for; the games were packed with as much content as the disc/cartridge could hold.
Then the download revolution came.
Now, you're not getting your moneys worth unless you have a credit card and Microsoft/Wii/whatever-the-fuck-PS3-has points to spend on extra levels, guns and storylines.
What about us, who can't hook up online? What if our computers and consoles are on two separate floors?
Simple. We get the shaft.
What a great world we live in.

ohai Aiden. Duke Nukem Forever is almost done, btw.

personally i think the best n64 game is that rugrats one where you have to run around solving puzzles

It's sarcasm.
You aren't meant to advertise ROMs as they are illegal.
