This IS a nostalgic site, that's why it still gives reviews of oldies.

Modern standards? As many people frequently point out, not a whole lot has changed since 1992.
Judging older games is always a balancing act. All AG writers take a game's historical context into consideration, and obviously technical limitations are largely excused (no voices, low resolution, etc.). But a game's defining criteria (gameplay, story, characters, etc.) must stand the test of time to be of any value to gamers today.
I'm not exactly sure how this relates to Ween, though. Is there something in the review that suggests the game is being discriminated against because of its age?
