I do. I don't want or need top notch graphics. My ps5 collects dust.

Gameplay is always king.

Graphics can contribute a lot - some games are fucking gorgeous, and I'll stop and appreciate good scenery in digital environment the same as IRL.

But jaw-droppingly incredible graphics can never compensate for bad or even mediocre gameplay.

And shit graphics will never kill a game with good gameplay. Done right, shit graphics can even be charming in a nostalgic kind of way.

SNES, Genesis and TG16 do have top notch graphics for those who can't do without them.
