That said, despite the mind blowing setting, there are some games it is too late for.

I first played Doom on a graphics workstation with a 27 inch CRT screen (in those days that took two people to lift). It was about 20,000 quids worth. Doom blew my mind. I played it in a darkened room and had to walk down a darkened corridor after. A friend who met me in the bar after thought I'd had some kind of nervous breakdown.

Nowadays it's just a bit crappy and old fashioned.

Beyond Good and Evil hasn't dated so badly but the gameplay now seems distractingly clunky. The plot, pacing and story though... amazing. It goes from cute and harmless to ultra sinister.
