Just one comment, which might be a theory because I can't speak for everyone.
I doubt that the reviewers rate the games based on today's games.
Mainly because most of the people on site are dedicated players of abandonware, and have actually some of us have actually lived through the time when these games were new and fancy.
It is very much my impression that the games are rated according to when they were made, and what you could do at those times.
