I agree with you, but I also agree with the post that started this thread.
There are generally far less cerebral-oriented games these days, and far
more clones.  However, I'm also more cynical because I'm well, more cynical.
I've been there/done that, and as I get older it simply takes more to draw
my attention to a game.  The "good old days" are always better in your
memory.
