Right? I have to keep in mind, fans making these games are not under the same limitations commercial developers were back in the day too. For instance, no boss breathing down their neck over a budget or how long something is taking to get done and a looming deadline.
Plus, so much has been learned about these classic computers and consoles since back in the day, where most programmers were on the cutting edge and had nothing to compare to or build off of.
Nothing but respect for them all.
