In the old days, we instinctively "filled in the blanks" with our imagination to make it seem real. But the more built in "realism" that's included, the less your imagination is called upon.

Me and my best friend played the original Elite that was only lines and black and white on the BBC Model B. I always think it was because at the time we were kids, this ws not a game, we were in space fighting our way from planet to planet, we used to hotseat the game for hours. Played SS as well.
As for bugs sure there was bugs probably, but we did not have forums to bring it to our attention and they were Basic as we were not talking GB we were talking K.
I’m not a Console fan, don’t own one but spent a while playing with my mates seven year old playing COD4 and it blew me away the way it looked on his new Xbox 360. if we dragged the old BBC out and got elite up he’d crack up. Was it better to use our imagination probably but god are they looking great these days.
