Absolutely; but, if a game has great gameplay and great graphics, it's, for me at least, better than just having good gameplay. Of course, superior graphics do not make a poor game play better; thus, at it's core, gameplay is king for video games of all stripes. However, a great game with awesome graphics is, for me at least, just better than a great game with poor graphics.
Much like you, I play several retro-games -- however, I still prefer a game to not just play well, but to look good, too.
Just as kingofwale suggests: I freely admit that looks are not necessarily the clincher, but a pretty face sure goes a long way, especially when combined with a killer wit, a sharp mind, and a charming personality. Why just choose one when you can have them all?
