Chess cannot be improved upon. It's a bad analogy.

Secondly I was referring to the 1930's because of the Citizen Kane comment, not because it's when the ability to act actually began. I was wrong however since CK came out in 1941. I just IMDBed it.

When you remake a movie, you don't necessarily make it better. Sure the film quality can be better, and the sound can, but the performances will be different and I give you Psycho as an example. On the other hand a videogame remake like Resident Evil improved upon the first in every way and no one can deny that. It handled better because of new technology, looked better because of it, sounded better because of it, because there is no human inside of a game, just further advancing technology.

I understand those that want to give other eras, but it's based more on your own interest at the time than anything else. I was more interested in gaming from 1996-2000 so my favorite consoles are usually the Dreamcast, N64 and PS1 and their games but I don't believe their games are superior, I just loved gaming more back then.

Chess can be improved on , if the games strong points are it's difficult and it's tactical nature then chess could be made more difficult and tactical to play , this "improvment" may not be likable by some but it would still be that , an improvment.

Because 3D chess was such a smashing success.

 Chess is a poor example for demonstrating your point , the majority of chess is played in RL ( and if it isn't you should find a friend and do so). I was speaking theoreticly , in practice changing the game of chess would make less enjoyable because it isn't the traditional chess that many know and love. But I'd still say a superior chess game could be created .
