It's not just the difference in display tech.

The lacking in today's pixel art is mostly a design problem.

Yeah, I was just pointing out that the way people experience the art of pixels from the previous generations gives them a distorted view of how they actually looked. Thus, it gives way to a weird attempt to look as blocky as possible, when that was never a goal of the original art in the first place.

Combine that with the fact that the art is badly designed and... well you showed us the results.
