I can understand why it was the shit when you were young, it was totally different to everything else at the time, and even today it still looks good, but really it's a very linear game where you only press buttons that appear on the screen. There are older games that yes, graphically they were nowhere near as good but they were less linear and the player had more control.
Think of pong, it's just a dot and a couple of lines but the player has freedom to do what they want and the outcome is not the same everytime.
