To keep you interested. You see, back then graphics weren't all that impressive. With the advent of impressive 3D accelerators near the end of the 1990's, video games took on a whole new direction: ultra realistic, ultra high resolution, chock (sp?) full of eye candy. Nowadays, games look pretty but offer little challenge.

I think another problem is that gaming companies back then were small groups of people working on one game at a time, compared to now where a lot of those gaming companies that were small back then are big now with large amounts of people working on multiple games at once. Companies like EA back in the early 90's depended upon their sport games to turn a profit and all the focus was on those types of games. Now, EA makes many games beyond sports, so the focus on certain games like their sports games aren't there anymore like it was back in the early 90's.
