> I think people's ratings of importance and quality are highly colored by their own experiences. For example, Goldeneye is beloved, but I've always found it weird, and I think anyone who played multiplayer Quake, Descent, Doom, etc., before it came out will just never see it as the revelation that console gamers do.

Having played all those games before GoldenEye, I still thought GE was groundbreaking and raised the bar for both PCs and consoles. My guess is it's harder for those who came after to go appreciate it. Or really anyone who needs stable, high frame rates. Because GE's low frame rate is probably its biggest flaw.
