Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is making me thankful I had a SNES.

Of course these games have been aging for quite a while, and without any nostalgia you might not find them as good. I'm sure you wouldn't think as highly of some of those NES games if you wern't playing them as a kid.

Just one little problem: that's not true. Plunk anyone new to gaming (which you pretty much have anymore if you want to truly be free of bias) in front of these games, and you'll keep hearing the same stories we said when we were little: how great these games are, even -especially?- in comparison to what came later. But then, this is to be expected, since they haven't spent as much time under the shower of marketing Kool-Aid.

Graphics and pop-culture references age. Good games do not.

Uhh, yea, good games can age. You mean to tell me every game we thought was good as a child is good now? Doubtful. Some of the games I loved as a child, but my friends can't get into them. I completely understand it.
