because despite the graphical power of todays consoles, some old games prove to be of better quality that some games today.

This. I find old games even more impressive and creative... It's just amazing what they could do, being so limited, technology-wise.

I think that it is because of that limitation, that games were so creative.  Today, I think most developers tend to rely on the technology to create a good game.
