The games are getting better. It's just you that's changing.
I remember Street Fighter 2 was the reason I (and everyone I knew) wanted a SNES. At the time, it was groundbreaking because all the characters had their own set of moves.
Nostalgia freaks will probably disagree, but having played the game more recently, I can safely say that it is utter crap. Years of playing superior fighters (from MK3 to Tekken: DR) has taught me how primitive SF2 really is. Button-mashing just doesn't cut it anymore.
Gaming is a technological medium, so games will continue to improve for many years. We are still nowhere near the stage where gaming can be taken seriously as a legitimate art form. The golden age is yet to come...
