What are some thought provoking retro games that they couldn't make today? I think most of them were in the point and click adventure game genre, especially the rotoscoped live action games like pic related. Carmaggedon was controversion when it came out but these days it's nothing compared to other "violent" video games.

Dragon Lord for Amiga/DOS.
Initially daunting mix of dragon raising, alchemy mixing and land conquering strategy game that seemingly faded into obscurity.

standards are lower today which is why dukenukem is too good for current era

Not saying that it couldn't be made today but I don't think we'll ever get a game as well written as the Legacy of Kain games again.

Definitely could not be made today because the main character (the actor) was really a kidder!

This was the most fucking boring game I have ever played in my entire life. I regret wasting my time playing it except for one thing.
I reference "easy, Orlando. What's it all about?" at least twice a week and have done so for the last 9 years
