Yes, in a first person 3D fighting games(Quake, Duke...) there`s
this difference, though I can't see difference between 30 and 60+
frames, I can feel this difference. At 60+ frames(320x200 for
todays cards) the games runs absolutely different(again, visually
I can't see this), than at 30fps, but again it's only a feeling
(hm, but the feeling is the biggest part of playability!).

Well, I like 'em too, but still, I like Warcraft more than Warcraft 2
and Tiberian Dawn than Red Alert. AGAIN about feeling, svga is more
detailed but I feel vga better and nice.

These are all my feelings, it's absolutely normal your feelings
are different, we all are different, so we can discuss our
different opinions, and maybe gain new wisdom from these discussions,
or change our opinions, feelings...
