Do real gamers care about graphics?

If they only play one game, they hardly have any idea how to appreciate the evolution of gaming as someone my age can. Yeah, it is kind of an age elitist thing, however, given enough time, gaming advances will make experts of everybody in a year's time. It's advancing that fast. What took me a lifetime to grow up and appreciate, you fellows will enjoy in just a year.
One of my favorite games is about as old as I am, but I play it often enough. You may have heard of it. It's called Frogger. So simple. stuffty graphics, but it's addicting gameplay.

technically Frogger had good graphics at the time of it's conception

Remember the first time "you" got either your first PS or N64?
I remember like it was just yesterday; I've been playing Banjo & Kazooie for a damn long time and I was so excited when I heard about Banjo Tooie, looking at the pictures of this game made me all jiggly. The enhanced graphics were so awesome and they even used bigger textures then in Kazooie. Tooie kicked so much ass. Sadly I've never beat Kazooie so I couldn't really enjoy Tooie to the extend... but this is going rather off-topic now.

Minecraft's graphics aren't good, but they're unique and fit the style really well.

Frogger's one of the few real old games that I enjoy because of it's gameplay and not it's "haw, it's real old" novelty value.
