Are these games old now?

Serious question.

The original Metroid was released in 1986. Twenty-one years is pretty damn old.

I wouldn't say so, but I guess its just a matter of perspective. Being 27, I have difficulty thinking of anything that was created during my lifetime as old.

I understand the argument about the pace of technological progress and all, but it still seems excessive.

So yeah, they're old. Old does not mean bad, though.

I agree; also, I hadn't thought you meant this. I just don't think that the medium's been around long enough to have anything old in it.
