Very true. Even John Carmack has said he wants to go back and revisit the essentials; remake the Commander Keen engine from scratch.

I think it's also kind of fun to make this stuff; it forces you to work within serious limitations and that's where you have to be a bit clever and use more tricks and optimizations. Knowing where to place your next slice or edge to convey the same message as if you had infinite polycount. Doing crafty stuff like using a translucent planar textured hubcap to create the illusion of a smooth round tyre instead of an 8-sided cylinder.
