Nostalgia is powerful. But I think old gamers have rose tinted glasses. I remember blocky graphics, punishing difficulty, long gaps between save points, terrible framerates, short wired controllers, limited BC and having to own tons of hardware to play all the top games.

Games are better today, better balanced with way better controls.  Hardware is way better as well.  

Edit

Old games have terrible controls and awful camera angles.  And I remember having memory cards everywhere.

Oh stop. I went from NES to PS1 so memory cards were revolutionary but g'lord they were a disaster. So many game saves lost. Now I don't even know where my saves are but I have saves in hundreds of games and when I bought my pro they were just there once I set up the console. I can't imagine handling hundreds of saves in the 90's, it'd be a nightmare. 

Steam cloud saves are so much better than memory cards.  Built in HDD, not loading, wireless controllers, HD, smooth fps, better camera angles.  Current gaming is amazing compared to old school.  I don't see how anyone could think RE2 is better than RE8, as example.
