I totally agree with you. I am a relative youngster compared with a lot of you (19) but i have been gaming on BBS's, Intellivision, Commodores etc since I was 6 years old, and I have to say that I haven't found a game I have enjoyed as much as the "classics" Things like the old Zork, "Quest" games, the NES classics, or some of the BBS games. The only games I have enjoyed in the past few years have been Starcraft, Civilization (I played it non-stop for about 2 years:) and Tie Fighter. I wish they would make games where gameplay comes first, graphics second. I still love throwing my PS, DC, and N64 in the closet and pulling out the old NES and playing games like Excitebike, Jackal, and Ninja Gaiden. Too bad Nintendo doesnt redo the original NES to make it more stable so I wouldnt have to blow in it every time I use it:)
Perhaps this is the downside of using mysql instead of a more secure database like Oracle (maybe outta your reach) or DB2. Opensource does have its drawbacks...
