Speak for your self, pretty please. I consider myself an old time gamer. My first subsim was Silent Service. That should qualify. Graphics are part of the gameplay in computer games. When it is about simulation, I would even say that they are essential. A simulator is a very precisely cut attempt of Virtual Reality, and thus the graphics and sound AS WELL as the mechanical simulation should resemble the real object as close as possible. Neglet one part and you inevitably ruin the overall impression.
