In editing the reviews I keep coming across phrases like "The graphics were good at the time, but aren't very impressive by today's standards" - I can see where you're coming from here but I think it's an inevitable comparison which will be made by anyone who plays the game, as the graphics (and sound) are generally the aspects of a game which age the quickest. A few reviews (like the one for EcoQuest IIRC) do praise the graphics quite highly.

I think it's fine to make some sort of comparison with today, so long as it's not a heavy criticism and is tempered with some comparison with the game's contemporaries.

EDIT: Isn't this a Site Comment or Suggestion ?
