Couldn't have said it better myself.
Also, to Fien, I wasn't arguing that modern graphics would detract from the experience in the article comments. If the backgrounds were painted at 1680x1050 by an experienced sci-fi illustrator then sure, that could turn out to be more effective than low-res, pixelated backgrounds, but you've got to take into account the product. It's a one-man indie game and as such, the creator chose a style that was A) possible to achieve and B) fits the theme perfectly.
