As usually, everyone sees the matter with games "back then" and "nowadays" differently

Don't forget there existed Electronic Arts already in the first years of the 90s, and it ruined Ultima VIII, leaving it still full of bugs and no (planned though) expansion pack. It also ruined Ultima IX, which looked as a promising game first, but ended up being only mediocre.
Everyone has a bit of a point here. True that older games can often hook you in for longer time than new ones, but also true that not all new games are about graphics and less about content. Yes, the tendency is about better graphics, though it was always there, even with old Dos games. There just was much more left to discover than now. There's always something to find, if only one cares to look for long enough.
And speaking of new inspiration, there are some ideas around about possible future of computer games. Not "video" games anymore...
