There were also a tremendous number of absolute trash games that we don't remember because we don't remember them.

I remember giving my NES games away. I had like 200 of them.

The person receiving it went, "Bet you have a good memory out of every game." And I just kinda answered, "Not really. Most of them sucked."

Out of that pile of 200 NES games, maybe like 10% were good.

Ah, sorry, I was setting up a Bashir/Garak "Especially the good ones, my dear doctor" thing.
10% isn't bad, though. What was your favorite bad one?

Same with any media, really. Lots of people idolize old music in a “they don’t make it like they used to” way, purely because the bad music didn’t get replayed often enough to enter the zeitgeist.
