Pacman ran at 60FPS. I'd bet you don't recall people saying "OMG! This looks horrible! I'm blind!" too.

I don't recall anyone talking about "graphics" until companies started using it as bullet points to sell their products. The bottom line is, they don't matter. It's cliche, but true. Angry Birds and Minecraft wouldn't exist otherwise. 

Beggars can't be choosers... you were lucky back in these days to get some fun games for your console or home computer at all. Today we have have much more choices in games to play... of course the personal standards in graphics and/or gameplay are much higher than in the past to filter the titles which are worth the investment of time and money.

And of course even in the past people talked about the graphic differences between different versions, if they knew about the differences. But in a much smaller scale, only in the circle of friends / schoolfellows. There was no internet to discuss in larger scale.
