Basically, everything gets better as time goes by. Devs learn, tastes change, expectations, most importantly, increase. Games are much, much bigger every generation than the gen before. Graphics are better every year. Controls become more and more standardized. That's progress. Games made years ago don't have the benefit of everything we've learned since. So, of course they're not going compete with current games.
Some old games may still be fun for some people. I enjoy playing games from my childhood once in a while. But, I never play them for long. They just aren't as good, generally speaking, as games made today. And that's a good thing. It means gaming is progressing.
