WTF happened to video games?

I recently plugged in my N64 and revisted a couple of old favorites. I played Ocarina of Time today for like 4 hours. I dont think i've played for that long since 2002. For that time that game was unbelievable. The landscape, the music, the gameplay, the story are all amazing. I just don't understand why today's games can't be as good as the ones from way back. It seems like every game that comes out today is either a sports game or a shooting game. Like seriously how many fucking shooting games have come out in the last couple years. I honestly couldn't give a fuck about how great multiplayer is, how nice the graphics are, or how big of an explosion your imaginary gun makes. I found that I didn't stop playing video games because I outgrew them, but rather because they began to suck. I also realize that some games that do come out these days may be fun but just have less appeal to me so I'm not hating on everything that comes out. So if you're a fan of games from ye olden times post your favorite old school game.
