Older games, should you still be playing them?

[milkyjoe]

The logic that a newer game is instantly better than an older game just does not compute with me, but each to their own.

I play older games for the same reason that I watch older movies, listen to older music or read older books. I mean, the original Star Wars trilogy is a clear winner over the prequel trilogy by a chasm... Yet if you follow the newer = instantly better logic.... Yikes.
