Sadly, today games are made by people who´s job it is to make games. Not people who make games, because they love to play games. I know I am a Golden-Time-Troll but: Those times are indeed over and they´ll never come back. The time from the late 80s to the mid 90s were great, may they rest in piece and dignity.

Xbox Live Arcade and Wiiware will beg to differ

I think it´s not really the same. The whole feel to Videogames was different back then, the carpets were different and of course, I was a kid back then.

I think it's because the industry, like most entertainment industries went uber-professional starting in the late 90's. Very similar to what happened in radio and in a different way, wrestling. Overseriousness and greed.
