Neither of them look good to me ;) (Gaming)

I see where you're coming from, and I even mostly agree. Nostalgia is powerful and blinds most folks as to what old games actually were (which is mostly garbage). There are a few notable exceptions, in my mind though--namely Super Mario Bros. and World, and A Link to the Past. Sure, graphics and gameplay have come a long way since then, but they are the examples of games that still feel like they could be released today and be standout, amazing games.

Unfortunately, there's not a great way to play them anymore, unless you happen to have a good CRT laying around still. I don't, and I don't have the room for one either. I can't just plug a NES or SNES into a modern TV and get anything approaching an acceptable level of playability, and that sucks.
