Exactly this. A game rated 70 is a good game, but there are so many other *better* games out there, that you might as well not bother with the 70's. 

While playing games that are in the seventies is not something everyone is willing to do, you never know till u try these games that are within the 70 range. From what I know, Earthbound, for example, was not as well received and beloved back during its initial release as it is now. It took some time for critics and fans to truly appreciate the game before it became cult status. A lot of games that are within the 70 range are considered hidden gems anyway so..

I really didn't like Earthbound. The combat system was insanely simple. There were no animations for most of the battles. The animations were replaced with a text box explaining what what happening. The text box often went by too fast to read. 

There are some games in the 70's that I have tried. Sometimes reviewers just get a game wrong. Disgaea is a good example. A lot of reviewers automatically gave a mediocre score on account of the alphamap graphics. Chromehounds is another good example. Reviewers never bothered to upgrade their mechs to the 5 card speed chip. As a result a lot of reviewers commented that the mechs moved like snails. I have to say though, I think examples such as these are rare cases.
