May the force be with you on this one, Obi-wan. Reminds me of when a buddy got his first PC, about 4-5 years ago. He wanted games, so I ftp'd him some (back then) state-of-the-art games (HL, Undying, etc). He thought the graphics were the shiznit. Then I told him to download one more game I uploaded, a 6mb file. He said, "You're joking, right? Can a 6mb game be any good?" Six months later, he was STILL raving about the game - discussing strategies and tactics with me almost daily. Graphics sucked elephant 'nads - try VGA 320x200. No voice-overs. Even the MIDI sounds were craptastic, even back then. However, the gameplay rocked him so hard he didn't even play any "graphics-whore" games until he passed this 6mb game three times. This game is being revamped by indie developers/fans even today, to try to bring the graphics to today's standards while keeping the gameplay intact. I believe you can download it for free. The game? It's called X-Com. Man, some of the best games ever (for me at least) are turn-based strategy games. I don't care how you dress one of these games up, but if you've ever played X-Com, or Civilization for that matter, you can see while graphics do make the game look nice, the gameplay is what makes these games seriously rock. You want fancy-schmancy immersive graphics that cross the uncanny valley and look hot-shit? Rent a movie. LOTR is highly recommended. Otherwise, gameplay will, at least for me, ALWAYS come first.
