In a way, I'm finding that as technology advanced, it is genearlly a bit easier to write how games should work. Give a programmer a prefab rendering enging, and he'll have a fairly simple game within a few months, followed by a more refined implementation a few months later. The only problem would be the graphics, and even then, graphics don't have to be very excellent to be world-class. (See how far Coutner-Strike is today, even without the most advanced rendering system.)
